Incidental Finding of an Asymptomatic Migrated Coil to the Right Ventricle Following Pelvic Vein Embolisation

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...
