| description | A 20-year-old man presented with a femur fracture and epidural hemorrhage (EDH) following a fall. One
month after fracture surgery, swelling developed in both legs, and he was diagnosed as having a deep-vein
thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. A retrievable inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) was inserted, because
EDH is a contraindication to anticoagulants. Four months later, he complained of abdominal pain, and a computed
tomography scan showed a fractured IVCF strut. After percutaneous removal failed 3 times, the IVCF
was surgically removed by orthopedists using a portable image intensifier without cardiopulmonary bypass. |
