Abstract

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter thrombosis has been reported to occur in up to 30% of cases and is associated with significant morbidity. The optimal treatment of IVC thrombosis has not been established to date. We report a case of IVC filter thrombosis with associated vena caval obstruction successfully treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis and adjunctive mechanical thrombectomy.
