| Popis: | Pelvic vein embolisation (PVE) with metallic coils is an effective treatment for pelvic venous congestion. The migration of coils following the procedure has been well-reported; however, the most effective approach to management is still unclear. In the present case, the authors describe the delayed identification of a migrated coil to the right ventricle following an ovarian vein embolisation. The patient presented to the emergency department with chest pain and subsequent radiology identified a coil in the right ventricle. This was found to be present on previous radiology, but had not been reported on. The position of the coil had remained stable and therefore was deemed an unlikely cause for the chest pain. The coil was managed conservatively. This demonstrates how asymptomatic coil migration may go undetected and thus the migration rates in the literature may be underreported. Post-PVE screening to assess for migration could improve the accuracy of complication rates and prevent delayed complications associated with migrated coils. |
