Although an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is used for preventing pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in patients with deep vein thrombosis, IVC filter penetration in the duodenum is a rare complication.
A 35-year-old man had previously undergone retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) for testicular cancer and IVC filter placement for prevention of PTE. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for his epigastric pain revealed penetration of the IVC filter in the duodenum. The IVC filter was retrieved through cavotomy, and the duodenal penetration was repaired using EGD clipping. Although it was difficult to mobilize the duodenum due to adhesion resulting from RPLND, the use of a mesenteric approach enabled encircling of the IVC caudal to the duodenum. The mesenteric approach is useful and safe for taping the IVC caudal to the duodenum in cases where it is difficult to mobilize the duodenum.
IVC taping using the mesenteric approach allowed safe retrieval of the IVC filter after RPLND without postoperative complications.
尽管下腔静脉(IVC)滤器用于预防深静脉血栓形成患者的肺血栓栓塞症(PTE),但IVC滤器穿透十二指肠是一种罕见的并发症。
一名35岁男性曾因睾丸癌接受腹膜后淋巴结清扫术(RPLND)并放置IVC滤器以预防PTE。因上腹部疼痛进行的食管胃十二指肠镜检查(EGD)显示IVC滤器穿透十二指肠。通过腔切开术取出IVC滤器,并使用EGD夹闭修复十二指肠穿孔。尽管由于RPLND导致的粘连难以移动十二指肠,但采用肠系膜入路能够在十二指肠尾侧环绕IVC。在难以移动十二指肠的情况下,肠系膜入路对于在十二指肠尾侧结扎IVC是有用且安全的。
采用肠系膜入路进行IVC结扎,使得RPLND后能够安全取出IVC滤器且无术后并发症。
