Paradoxical Embolism in the Setting of Inferior Vena Cava Filter Removal (P1.283)
Conclusions:Although clinically relevant events secondary to IVC filter migration and fracture are rare, they can be life-threatening. Care should be taken when choosing to place these devices, and alternative therapies should be considered when possible. They should be removed when no longer needed, as fracture rates are increased with longer dwell times. Up to half of complications can be avoided with retrieval within 3 months.Disclosure: Dr. Yost has nothing to disclose. Dr. Klaas has nothing to disclose.
