Abstract
Migration of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter to the heart after placement is an extremely rare complication. The case of a 42-year-old man who presented with ventricular arrhythmia and tricuspid valve regurgitation, and underwent open heart surgery to extract an IVC filter from the right ventricle 12 days after infrarenal IVC filter placement, is reported.Entities:
