“…Caudal migration of IVC filters is a commonly reported occurrence [60,83]. In one series, of the patients evaluated for IVC filter removal, as many as 52% of the filters had migrated (12% moved [20 mm, and 40% moved\20 mm) [60].…”

“…A small number of cases of caudal migration with caval perforation and successful removal have been described, without major complications, e.g., in a patient with only self-limited abdominal pain and requiring no treatment [83]. Cranial migration within the IVC occurs less frequently [60]. In most cases, conventional removals were performed; in one series, only 8.9% of these downstream caval migrations required advanced retrieval techniques [60].…”

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters have proven valuable for the prevention of primary or recurrent pulmonary embolism in selected patients with or at high risk for venous thromboembolic disease. Their use has become commonplace, and the numbers implanted increase annually. During the last 3 years, in the United States, the percentage of annually placed optional filters, i.e., filters than can remain as permanent filters or potentially be retrieved, has consistently exceeded that of permanent filters. In parallel, the complications of long-or short-term filtration have become increasingly evident to physicians, regulatory agencies, and the public. Most filter removals are uneventful, with a high degree of success. When routine filter-retrieval techniques prove unsuccessful, progressively more advanced tools and skill sets must be used to enhance filter-retrieval success. These techniques should be used with caution to avoid damage to the filter or cava during IVC retrieval. This review describes the complex techniques for filter retrieval, including use of additional snares, guidewires, angioplasty balloons, and mechanical and thermal approaches as well as illustrates their specific application.

The fact that many inferior vena cava filters (IVCF) in trauma patients are not being removed has been described numerous times in the literature, but nobody really gives a reason why. This case presents a young patient who prophylactically received an optional IVCF after sustaining severe multitrauma. He had a failed retrieval 8 weeks post insertion and consequently was lost to follow-up before a second removal attempt was performed. Institutions inserting IVCF should establish guidelines for following up patients receiving prophylactic IVCF.
