Abstract
Anticoagulation is the treatment of choice in deep venous thrombosis; IVC filters can be placed in cases where anti coagulation is absolutely contra indicated. IVC filters are not without complications, some of which can be life-threatening. If detected early and managed timely and appropriately, a crisis can be averted. We report a complication-IVC wall penetration by a retrievable IVC filter, detected incidentally during a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. © Indian Association of Surgical Oncology 2021.Entities:
