Two months following the insertion of an Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter for acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) complicated by pulmonary embolism, despite anticoagulation therapy, the filter was successfully retrieved.

Important Note:

Long-term IVC filters are associated with potential complications, including:

• Malpositioning
• IVC penetration
• Paradoxical IVC thrombosis

Prompt retrieval minimizes these risks.
