Abstract
Retrievable inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) offer temporary protection from pulmonary embolism without the long-term sequelae of a permanent implant; however, most are never removed.1 Prolonged presence of IVCFs has been associated with retrieval failure rates as high as 43%2 and device-related complications, including fracture, device migration, organ penetration, and an increased risk for venous thrombosis.3Keywords
