摘要

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are a relatively safe and effective treatment designed to prevent pulmonary emboli. Late complications of IVC filters include filter migration, tilting, strut fracture, strut perforation, and IVC thrombosis. We present a case of a 67-year-old male undergoing a right robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy whose IVC filter strut had perforated the vena caval wall.
