[Embolization of a Mobin-Uddin filter].
A case of Mobin-Uddin-Filter embolisation (28 mm filter) into the right pulmonary artery is presented. Via a right thoracotomy filter and thrombi could easily be extracted. Indication, avoidance of malposition, and the question of whether the filter should be extracted after embolisation are discussed.
