Retrieval of inferior vena cava filters is routinely performed via an internal jugular venous access. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman with myeloproliferative disorder, complicated by venous thrombosis. She was referred to interventional radiology for removal of an inferior vena cava filter, which had been placed 5 months prior for mechanical prophylaxis in the setting of femoral orthopedic surgery. Due to the patient's chronic occlusion of the bilateral jugular and subclavian veins, a transhepatic approach was used to retrieve the filter successfully without immediate complications. Keywords: Inferior vena cava filter, Transhepatic venous access |
