Implication

Case report shows recurrent venous thromboembolism after anticoagulation withdrawal in a patient with an indwelling filter, indicating potential risks.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the relationship between indwelling inferior vena cava filters and the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism after stopping anticoagulation.
  • Case report of a 68-year-old man with an indwelling IVC filter and previous deep vein thrombosis treatment.
  • Patient developed recurrent pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis after anticoagulation withdrawal.
  • Extended thromboprophylaxis with sulodexide was initiated before recurrence.
  • Patient experienced recurrent venous thromboembolism three months after stopping anticoagulation.
  • Anticoagulation was successfully restarted after the recurrence of DVT and PE.
  • The case emphasizes the prothrombotic nature of indwelling IVC filters.
