  • Title: [Pulmonary emboli caused by hormonal treatment. (Apropos of 2 cases)].
    Author: Jan F, Sébastien P, Jacotot B, Cachin JC.
    Journal: Coeur Med Interne; 1972; 11(4):765-9. PubMed ID: 4652265.
    Abstract:
    The appearance of pulmonary embolisms in 2 young women undergoing hormonal treatment is reported. The first, 20 years old, had been treated with an estrogen-gestagen combination for 5 months and had a history of varicosis; no signs of thrombophlebitis were seen, however. Under treatment with vitamin-K and heparin, pain and respiratory difficulty disappeared rapidly. The 2nd patient; 32 years old, had been treated with depot progesterone in monthly injections for sterility. Anticoagulant treatment was successful within a few days. There was a history of varicosis present in both patients, a possible predisposing factor.
