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.
