Successful Percutaneous Retrieval of IVC Filter with Wide Retroperitoneal Penetration Presenting with Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Annals of Vascular Diseases 2017 December 26
Symptomatic penetration of the retroperitoneal structures by inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a rare clinical entity. Vast majority of these patients require laparotomy and open retrieval of the filter.

The patient was successfully managed with percutaneous retrieval of the filter, blood transfusion and serial abdominal examination thus avoiding laparotomy.
