Symptomatic caval perforation is a rare complication of inferior vena cava filter placement, and there is little evidence on which to base clinical practice in such circumstances. We report a case of caval wall perforation 5 years after insertion of a retrievable Günther Tulip filter (William Cook Europe, Bjaeverskov, Denmark) and describe the operative procedure involved in its removal. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of symptomatic caval perforation caused by a Günther Tulip filter.
有症状的腔静脉穿孔是下腔静脉滤器置入术的一种罕见并发症，在这种情况下几乎没有可作为临床实践依据的证据。我们报告1例在植入可回收的Günther Tulip滤器（威廉库克欧洲公司，丹麦比耶沃斯科夫）5年后发生腔静脉壁穿孔的病例，并描述了取出该滤器所涉及的手术过程。据我们所知，这是首例由Günther Tulip滤器引起的有症状腔静脉穿孔的报道病例。
