Endovascular retrieval of an inferior vena cava filter penetrating the false lumen of a chronic aortic dissection, with concomitant iliocaval reconstruction

“…[7,8] Penetration of IVCF into an aortic dissection is rarely seen and retrieval has only been reported in two case reports. [9,10] In the first, an IVCF strut penetrated the duodenum and aorta, causing a localized dissection for which the patient underwent open surgical removal of the IVCF with repair of the secondary aortic dissection. [9] In the second, an asymptomatic patient was referred for filter retrieval and incidental aortic dissection was discovered at the point of strut penetration in the aorta.…”

[9] In the second, an asymptomatic patient was referred for filter retrieval and incidental aortic dissection was discovered at the point of strut penetration in the aorta. [10] Endovascular retrieval was successful with no change to the aortic dissection in follow-up.…”
