Case report of failed tubal occlusion using Essure pbc (permanent birth control) hysteroscopic sterilisation procedure.

摘要

The device previously known as STOP, now called the Essure pbc device, is a dynamic expanding microinsert, placed in the proximal section of the fallopian tube, occluding the tube. Initial reports about the device are promising with occlusion of the tubes in 100% with no reported pregnancies and a high rate of safety and patient acceptability. This report documents the first reported failure of tubal occlusion of an appropriately placed Essure pbc device.
