A Novel Approach to an Under‐Recognized Entity: Percutaneous Thrombectomy of IVC Filter Thrombosis Complicated With Pulmonary Emboli Using the INARI FlowTriever Device: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis, a rare complication of IVC filter insertion, is usually managed with anticoagulation, often insufficient for extensive thrombus. Surgical thrombectomy, effective but invasive, is less favored. Endovascular options like the Inari FlowTriever system are ri...

| Summary: | ABSTRACT Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis, a rare complication of IVC filter insertion, is usually managed with anticoagulation, often insufficient for extensive thrombus. Surgical thrombectomy, effective but invasive, is less favored. Endovascular options like the Inari FlowTriever system are rising in popularity for their mechanical thrombectomy capability without requiring fibrinolytics or ICU admission. |
