Introduction: It is possible but rare for a pelvic coil to migrate to the pulmonary vasculature, which can cause cardiac damage, arrhythmias, pulmonary infarct, and thrombophlebitis. The few cases reported typically do not describe removal of the coils, as patients were asymptomatic.
Case Report: A 39-year-old female with recent coil embolization of her left internal iliac and ovarian veins for pelvic congestion syndrome presented with one month of right-sided chest pain and dyspnea. Imaging revealed a migrated pelvic coil in the patient's right main pulmonary artery with pulmonary infarcts and a pleural effusion.
Conclusion: Interventional radiology successfully removed the coil endovascularly, with significant symptom improvement. This prevented a more-invasive open surgical procedure and resolved symptoms without requiring long-term anticoagulation or monitoring.

Isolated iliac aneurysms are rare, and their management becomes complex when accompanied by ectopic pelvic kidneys due to altered vascular anatomy. We report a 58-year-old male with an incidentally discovered 53.5 mm left common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysm and an ectopic pelvic kidney.

We present a rare case involving a 25-year-old woman who had fragmentation of a copper intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) while still within its recommended lifespan. The patient's symptoms included lower abdominal pain, offensive vaginal discharge, and the passage of copper IUD fragments. The pelvic examination confirmed the presence of the copper IUD strings, and with her consent, the device was removed.

Article Synopsis
- * A 13-year-old Chinese girl with OI presented specific symptoms including non-union fractures and distinctive skeletal features, leading to the discovery of a novel homozygous variant in the CCDC134 gene through whole exome sequencing.
- * This case marks the first identification of OI 22 in a Chinese patient and adds to the understanding of OI 22's clinical characteristics globally, highlighting a unique genetic variant's role in the disease.
Comparison of Embolization Using Coil Versus Coil and Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer in Pelvic venous Disorders.

Background: Endovascular treatments are frequently applied in pelvic venous disorders (PeVDs) with guidelines recommendations. There is no clear answer as to which of the embolization methods applied with endovascular treatments is superior. In this study, we aimed to compare the outcomes and symptom relief of patients with PeVDs treated using coils alone versus those treated with both coils and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, as well as to evaluate the material usage and safety and efficacy of these treatments.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and complications associated with various endovascular procedures like angioplasty, stenting, and embolization in different patient groups and vascular diseases.
- Methods included thorough patient preparation and the use of specialized facilities for conducting the procedures, followed by statistical analysis to assess their outcomes.
- Results showed high success rates in different cases: balloon angioplasty for PAD had a 73.7% success rate, EVAR for aortic aneurysms had a 96.6% success rate, and coil embolization for PCS had a 100% success rate, with minimal complications reported across the board.
