A CT scan confirmed that the implant had migrated into the left lower segmentary pulmonary artery. After a multidisciplinary meeting, an endovascular approach was attempted. Following right femoral venous access, a 8F NeuronMax\u00ae introducer was placed into the left pulmonary artery under fluoroscopic guidance. The contraceptive device was removed using a 25-mm loop snare, with a proximal capture technique. The patient was discharged the following day, with no reported complications.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In cases of contraceptive device migration, the first medical decision involves deciding between removal or 'watching and waiting'. Previous reports describe two removal options: endovascular or surgical approaches. Fourteen reports have been published, with high technical success and low rates of complications. The loop snare technique is described as the optimal technique for an endovascular approach. Due to their invasive nature, surgical approaches should be reserved for cases of endovascular removal failure, after evaluating risks and benefits.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Graphical Abstract<\/jats:title>\n                \n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s42155-024-00450-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,6]],"date-time":"2024-04-06T09:01:41Z","timestamp":1712394101000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Endovascular retrieval of a migrated contraceptive implant into the pulmonary artery : case report and review of literature"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7465-2955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R\u00e9mi","family":"Grange","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Magand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Grand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phanie","family":"Leroy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Corsini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kasra","family":"Azarnoush","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sylvain","family":"Grange","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"450_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"761","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2014.12.028","volume":"212","author":"AB Berenson","year":"2015","unstructured":"Berenson AB, Tan A, Hirth JM.
