Abstract:
Prevention of pulmonary embolism by inferior vena cava filter has long been established. The Greenfield filter continues to be modified to improve deployment methods. A new filter design allows insertion through tortuous anatomy. We present, by way of a case report, a unique complication related to this design. The filter design, deployment technique, and the rationale behind them are discussed. Suggestions for avoiding this problem are provided.
