Abstract
The Greenfield filter has become the most popular device for interruption of the inferior vena cava; however, a potential for lethal complications exists. We report two cases in which this filter was accidentally released in the heart. To avoid this problem, it is recommended that the guide wire be positioned in the inferior vena cava before the introducer is inserted into the venous system.Mesh：
