Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement is recommended for acute proximal deep venous thrombosis if anticoagulation is contraindicated. A 52-year-old man presented with weakness, dyspnea, syncope, and renal failure 8 months after IVC filter placement. Imaging revealed migration of the IVC filter to the right ventricle. Endovascular retrieval was not feasible, thus surgical extraction and tricuspid valve repair was performed. IVC filter migration to the heart is a rare, but a potentially life-threatening complication. Retrieval can be accomplished using endovascular or open surgical technique.
