Abstract

Although inferior vena cava filter placement is a safe and effective method of reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism, devastating complications can result from thrombosis and migration. Here we present a case of acute renal failure as a result of suprarenal inferior vena cava filter migration and caval thrombosis. We discuss a novel endovascular approach for its management by mechanical aspirational thrombectomy.
