“…All retrievable IVC filters can function as permanent filters if they are not removed. Several studies have indicated that only a small percentage of retrievable IVC filters (2-20 %) are removed and device related complications have been reported [4][5][6][7][8]. Recently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a medical alert to address these considerations and emphasized filter removal as soon as protection from PE is no longer necessary [9].…”

Purpose The British Society of Interventional Radiology (BSIR) Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter Registry was produced to provide an audit of current United Kingdom (UK) practice regarding placement and retrieval of IVC filters to address concerns regarding their safety. Methods The IVC filter registry is a web-based registry, launched by the BSIR on behalf of its membership in October 2007. This report is based on prospectively collected data from October 2007 to March 2011. This report contains analysis of data on 1,434 IVC filter placements and 400 attempted retrievals performed at 68 UK centers. Data collected included patient demographics, insertion and retrieval data, and patient follow-up. Results IVC filter use in the majority of patients in the UK follows accepted CIRSE guidelines. Filter placement is usually a low-risk procedure, with a low major complication rate (\0.5 %). Cook Gunther Tulip (560 filters: 39 %) and Celect (359 filters: 25 %) filters constituted the majority of IVC filters inserted, with Bard G2, Recovery filters, Cordis Trapease, and OptEase constituting most of the remainder (445 filters: 31 %). More than 96 % of IVC filters deployed as intended. Operator inexperience (\25 procedure) was significantly associated with complications (p \ 0.001). Of the IVC filters initially intended for temporary placement, retrieval was attempted in 78 %. Of these retrieval was technically successful in 83 %. Successful retrieval was significantly reduced for implants left in situ for[9 weeks versus those with a shorter dwell time.

“…Rather, they suggested an individualized approach to symptomatic patients. Other percutaneous and surgical approaches have been reported in case reports involving symptomatic and life threatening situations [12] , [13] , [16] , [18] , [19] , [21] , [24] . The use of such interventions in asymptomatic patients hasn't been described well and further studies are warranted.…”

Inferior vena cava filters are increasingly used in patients with recurrent venous thromboembolism who are contraindicated to anticoagulation. Migration of a broken strut to the pulmonary artery is a very rare complication of these filters. We report the case of an 83-year-old female who experienced this complication with the migratory strut remaining in the same position for years. This case provides evidence that such filters probably have higher rates of complications than what has been thought that remain asymptomatic. The indications and the management of complications of such devices need to be studied further.

“…Surgical removal of the OPTEASE IVC filter (Cordis Endovascular, Bridgewater, NJ, USA) with concomitant tricuspid cusp repair [4] or tricuspid valve replacement [2] has been reported. Our case is the first surgical report regarding filter removal for life-threatening ALN filter migration to the heart.…”

“…The incidence of filter migration, defined as <2-cm displacement from the initial location, is reportedly 1.3% [1]. However, major migration, such as that to the heart, is a rare but life-threatening complication [2][3][4]. We herein report a patient who underwent emergent operation for IVC filter migration to the heart.…”

A 40-year-old man underwent emergent pulmonary artery thromboembolectomy for pulmonary artery thromboembolism, and an ALN filter was placed in the inferior vena cava immediately after the operation. He had sudden ventricular tachycardia with dyspnea on postoperative day 6. An emergent operation was successfully performed, and the ALN filter was observed at the tricuspid valve with a large amount of the thrombus. Migration of the inferior vena cava filter to the right ventricle is a life-threatening complication that may result from residual deep vein thrombosis.
