Strategies for prevention of iatrogenic inferior vena cava filter entrapment and dislodgement during central venous catheter placement

摘要

Background: Iatrogenic migration of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters is a potentially life-threatening complication that can arise during blind insertion of central venous catheters when the guide wire becomes entangled with the filter. In this study, we reviewed the occurrence of iatrogenic migration of IVC filters in the literature and assessed methods for preventing this complication.
