O04.2: Medical abortion Incomplete, complicated by embolism

You had a pregnancy terminated.

There are various medical measures to terminate a pregnancy. Certain drugs are available. The pregnancy can also be terminated surgically.

During pregnancy, a child develops inside your uterus. The placenta usually provides the child with nutrients and oxygen in the womb.

Residual tissue from the child or from the placenta is still in your womb after the termination.

One or more of your blood vessels are also blocked. Blood vessels can get blocked when various substances mingle with the blood and then get stuck in the blood vessel. This may be clotted blood, drops of amniotic fluid, air or other substances, for example. When a blood vessel is blocked, organs or tissue, for example, may no longer get an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients. As a result the organs or tissue involved may get damaged.
