An alternative approach to treatment of inferior vena cava filter perforation

Abstract We report a case of inferior vena cava filter perforation immediately after filter implantation, recognized intraoperatively in a patient undergoing laparotomy for resection of locally advanced ovarian cancer. We describe an alternative approach with strut resection, less invasive than filter removal, enabling the device to be maintained and bleeding to be controlled.

摘要：我们报告1例接受开腹局部晚期卵巢癌切除术的患者，术中发现其下腔静脉滤器（Inferior Vena Cava Filter, IVCF）植入后即刻发生滤器穿孔。本文详述一种替代治疗方案：采用支撑杆切除术，该术式相较于滤器取出术创伤更小，可保留该植入装置并有效控制出血。
