    The Kimray-Greenfield inferior vena cava filter prevents pulmonary embolisms. A rare complication of thrombus formation during insertion can be avoided with minimal introduction time and continuous heparin infusion.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular surgery
    • Medical device technology

    Background:

    • The Kimray-Greenfield inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is designed to prevent pulmonary embolization from the lower body.
    • It is known for high patency and low complication rates.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a complication during IVC filter insertion.
    • Thrombus formation at the filter apex prevented complete opening, compromising caval occlusion.

    Findings:

    • Incomplete filter deployment occurred due to thrombus formation during a specific patient's IVC filter introduction.
    • This resulted in the filter not fully occluding the vena cava in the transverse diameter.

    Implications:

    • Minimizing insertion time is crucial to prevent filter deployment complications.

  • Continuous heparin infusion via the insertion device's side port during placement may mitigate thrombus formation and ensure proper filter function.
