Abstrakt: Inferior vena caval (IVC) filter thrombosis in patients with contraindications to anticoagulant therapy is a difficult and challenging clinical problem. We report our experience in treating three such patients using a mechanical thrombectomy device, which resulted in rapid symptomatic relief until anticoagulant therapy could be safely introduced.
