Summary
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters can perforate over time, leading to complications like aortic injury. This case highlights surgical retrieval of a perforated IVC filter complicated by thrombosis, emphasizing the need for further research.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Cardiology
Background:
- Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are crucial for preventing pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Late-stage complications include filter migration and perforation, posing risks to adjacent organs.
- Thrombosis within IVC filters can complicate retrieval procedures.

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
149
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.
