The need to retrieve inferior vena cava filters is quite evident due to the long-term complications. We present a novel technique to remove inferior vena cava filters using a homemade snare created using a looped a 0.014-inch semistiff wire. Employing this technique, 18 consecutive retrievable filters were removed. All filters were easily snared on the very first attempt, and no complications occurred. Our novel technique to retrieve filters is efficient, safe, and cost-effective.
RESUMEN
Isolated arterial thrombi complicating inflammatory bowel disease occurs rarely. We encountered a case of a 28-year-old man with Crohn disease who presented with abdominal pain and severe claudication and was found to have an isolated aortoiliac thrombus. Bilateral aortoiliac thromboembolectomies were performed with successful restoration of femoral blood flow. Long-term anticoagulation therapy was instituted after an extensive hypercoagulable workup, which failed to reveal an etiology for the patient's coagulopathy. We present our case and perform an extensive literature review on this topic.
