Inferior vena cava filter limb embolization to the right ventricle: a case report.

There is no consensus on the management of intracardiac embolization of IVC filters. Intravascular fragments may be removed by endovascular or surgical approaches, depending on the anatomical location. Following IVC filter insertion, an appropriate follow-up must be put in place to ensure removal and limit clinical sequelae that are otherwise avoidable. A multidisciplinary approach to the management of IVC filter fracture and embolization is recommended.
