Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension is rare but carries high morbidity in women of reproductive age. Effective contraception is essential, with long-acting reversible contraceptives preferred. However, intrauterine device insertion is often restricted to surgical settings, limiting access. This case series reports outpatient Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine System insertions in this high-risk population.
