Ischemic stroke and the use of etonogestrel implant on adolescent
There is few scientific evidence of good quality on the relationship between an ischemic stroke and the isolated use of progestins. In general, it does not suggest an elevation of this risk. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies continuation of the etonogestrel implant as category 3 if the event occurred while using it.

We appreciate the interest that Drs Aznar and Cerdá have expressed in our Clinical Opinion piece. We did not intend to minimize the importance of factor V Leiden as a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women taking combined oral contraceptives (COCs). However, we primarily addressed the risks of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke (IS), which are arterial thrombotic events, with COCs.
