This #IVCfilter was placed after a #trauma in a patient with DVT. During removal, the apex was imbedded and removed with standard equipment using the “hangman” aka “loop sling” technique of flossing a glide wire through the apex #iRad

This patient presented with severe leg edema, iliocaval thrombus with 12 year old #IVCfilter. After a night of lysis a large vol of chronic appearing clot persisted. Was able to get most of it out with a few passes with the Inari T20 from popliteal access. #iRad

Another long-dwelling #IVCFilter has been liberated into the afterlife. The broken secondary struts lacerated the standard sheath, and removal was easy after changing out for a 16 French Cook sheath. #GTFO #FilterOUT!

#IVCfilter does not mean patient won't have pulmonary embolism. Second patient in one week with clots throughout their filter and extending into the Pulm vasculature. Be careful in dismissing warning signs of PE in its presence.

8 week old #IVCfilter with some apical thrombus. Patient has been on Elliquis for 6 weeks. Would you just pull it? Mechanical thrombectomy? More AC and relook? Here it was pulled with an oversized sheath removing mostly chronic thrombus along with the filter #iRad #FilterOUT

#iRad #ProTip: Curve those #IVCFilter retrieval sheaths to give you some directionality. Our awesome tech Sarah has prepped our @CookMedical retrieval set to what's known around here as the "Horner Curve." #FilterOUT #GTFO #minimallyinvasive #DVT #pulmonaryembolism #radres

Friendly reminder to get that #IVCFilter out when no longer needed. This patient had acute thrombosis of her IVC and right iliac veins 2.5 years after placement. Clean as a whistle after @BostonPIMedEd #AngioJet thrombectomy and tPA Thrombolysis w #FilterOut. 2 year f/u CT #iRad

Forceps delivery of a tilted and embedded Argon Option Elite #IVCFilter. The key move here was using the forceps to free the filter apical tissue cap from the caval wall and some serious 🖐🏼 strength! #iRad #FilterOUT #FilterFriday
