Endovascular treatment of a thrombosed intracardiac vena cava filter. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Intracardiac migration of a vena cava filter (VCF) is a rare but potentially fatal complication. We describe a unique case of intracardiac migration of a permanent VCF with extensive thrombus propagating into the inferior vena cava and right atrium. Percutaneous thrombectomy with the AngioVac (AngioDynamics, Latham, NY) device was performed, and the permanent VCF was percutaneously removed.
