title: [Perforation of a loop of the small intestine by a Kim-Ray Greenfield endocaval filter. Report of a case].
abstract: Kim-Ray filter complications are usually benign, such as angulation or slight migration. We report and compare with the literature one case of vena cava perforation associated with a small bowel lesion. The follow-up with regular abdominal plain X-rays allows detection of filter angulation, the first step before vena cava perforation. Cavography or CT scan depicts this perforation. Complete or partial surgical removal of the filter may be necessary.
