Abstract:
A permanent inferior vena cava (IVC) filter with anti-coagulation therapy may be considered in patients with recurrent pulmonary embolism. IVC filter thrombosis is a challenging clinical problem. Here, we report our experience in treating one such patient using mechanical thrombectomy via the rolling technique with a 0.014-inch coronary wire.
