Percutaneous Extraction of an Embolized IVC Filter Strut Embedded in the Right Ventricle

Percutaneous Extraction of an Embolized IVC Filter Strut Embedded in the Right Ventricle

The incidence of IVC filter fracture is high with risk for embolization and may require open surgery. We present a minimally invasive approach of complex transcatheter extraction of an embolized and embedded IVC filter strut from the right ventricle. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
