Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement has seen a rising trend over the past decade. Although effective in the prevention of future pulmonary emboli, filters are associated with several long-term complications including deep venous thrombosis, filter migration, filter fracture, and caval thrombosis. The IVC filters have evolved over the years to minimize these unwarranted sequelae. We describe a technique to remove a permanent IVC filter in a patient who no longer required mechanical protection.
在过去十年中，下腔静脉（IVC）滤器置入呈上升趋势。尽管滤器在预防未来肺栓塞方面有效，但它与包括深静脉血栓形成、滤器移位、滤器断裂和腔静脉血栓形成在内的几种长期并发症相关。多年来，IVC滤器不断发展以尽量减少这些不必要的后遗症。我们描述了一种为不再需要机械保护的患者取出永久性IVC滤器的技术。
