A contraceptive implant was found in the pulmonary arteries of a 29-year-old woman in England. The woman already went to an appointment to change the device, but doctors did not find anything in her hand, reports this Friday Daily mail.
After the device’s three-year expiration date expired, the young woman went to the doctor, but several specialists failed to find anything in her left arm, where it was originally installed.
After several attempts, the implant responsible for the release of hormones ended up in the pulmonary arteries, but doctors consider its removal dangerous.
Rebecca decided to leave the device in her lungs as no symptoms associated with it appeared over time.
The newspaper reinforces the news with another similar case that occurred with a young woman in Portugal in 2019 in Viana do Castelo.
A Portuguese patient had an implant installed in her lower left lung and had to undergo surgery to stop abnormal vaginal bleeding.
While Medical professionals speculated that the device migrated into the lungs through a blood vessel because it was placed too deep.
