Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters provide a safe and effective method for protecting against pulmonary embolisms in patients for whom standard anticoagulation therapy for acute deep vein thrombosis is contraindicated. Common complications of IVC filter placement include erosion through the wall of the vena cava, visceral perforation, and filter thrombosis, obstruction, and migration. In this report, we describe the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with an IVC filter fracture and subsequent migration of the filter to the lung detected via chest radiography.
下腔静脉(IVC)滤器为急性深静脉血栓形成的标准抗凝治疗禁忌的患者提供了一种安全有效的预防肺栓塞的方法。放置IVC滤器的常见并发症包括腔静脉壁侵蚀、内脏穿孔以及滤器血栓形成、阻塞和移位。在本报告中,我们描述了一名60岁女性的病例,该患者通过胸部X线检查发现存在IVC滤器骨折及随后滤器移位至肺部的情况。
