ABSTRACT
Retrievable inferior vena cava filters were designed to provide mechanical prophylaxis from pulmonary embolism with the intent for retrieval once no longer indicated, and have been utilized at a high rate since their introduction. Unfortunately, retrieval rates have historically lagged behind, in part due to significant rates of failed standard retrieval techniques for filters with prolonged dwell time. Refinement in advanced retrieval techniques has now allowed (in experienced centers) for safe removal of filters previously considered irretrievable. An individualized approach is necessary for each potential advanced filter retrieval to determine appropriate course of action. This review will emphasize complex filter retrieval techniques amidst a larger discussion of inferior vena cava filters and their management.
