Protrieve sheath utilization for capturing supra-filter thrombus during a retrieval of thrombosed and embedded IVC filter.

The successful intraprocedural trapping and removal of mobilized thrombus from the IVCF removal was achieved using the Protrieve sheath and Nitinol funnel. This approach provides a promising solution to reduce the risk of embolization during the removal of thrombosed IVCFs, potentially outweighing the complications associated with filter removal.
