Inferior vena cava filters have been used frequently for decades to prevent pulmonary embolism in medical, surgical and trauma patients. With the advent of temporary or retrievable filters, the use of these filters has increased substantially. However, the enhanced design and attributes that make these devices attractive for short-term benefit and retrieval are not without risk. Two cases of symptomatic inferior vena cava wall penetration are reported - one of which required surgical intervention.
几十年来，下腔静脉滤器一直被频繁用于预防内科、外科和创伤患者的肺栓塞。随着临时或可取出滤器的出现，这些滤器的使用大幅增加。然而，这些装置因其增强的设计和特性而对短期获益和取出具有吸引力，但并非没有风险。本文报告了两例有症状的下腔静脉壁穿孔病例，其中一例需要手术干预。
