摘要：

Introduction: An Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is an intravascular filter that is implanted into the IVC to prevent pulmonary embolism in medical, surgical, and trauma patients. The insertion of an IVC filter is a relatively safe procedure, but rarely may be associated with symptomatic perforation of the IVC wall, particularly in the long term. Patient concerns and diagnosis: A 74-year-old-woman with a medical history of IVC filter insertion visited the emergency department complaining of abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan showed perforation of the IVC wall and penetration into the duodenum by one of the filter's struts. Interventions: We performed a laparotomy to remove the IVC filter. Outcomes: Postoperatively, the patient was admitted to the general ward. On hospital day 12, she was discharged without any complications. We followed her up and computed tomography did not show any abnormal findings six months after discharge. Lessons: There is currently no evidence testifying to the benefits of IVC filter removal. Detailed, evidence-based guidelines on the indications, timing and procedure for IVC filter removal are needed. Documenting cases of long-term complications of IVC filter s such as in this patient serve to accelerate the publication of updated guidelines and are aimed at improving outcomes of similar cases in the future.
