Abstract:
A 55-year-old man suffered head injury during a motor vehicle accident. He underwent a prophylactic inferior vena cava Greenfield filter placement. The filter migrated and lodged in the right ventricle at the level of the tricuspid valve. Successful percutaneous, transvenous retrieval of the Greenfield filter from the right ventricle was carried out.
