Asymptomatic late aortic penetration by retrievable IVC filter warrants vigilance; leaves open whether conservative management is broadly safe.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Asymptomatic aortic penetration by an IVC filter can occur as a delayed complication and may be managed conservatively with close observation in select patients.
Haga et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (n=1). Inferior vena cava filter placement was evaluated. A retrievable inferior vena cava filter penetrated the aorta asymptomatically 16 months after placement in an 83-year-old man, who was successfully managed with conservative observation.
