[Proximal migration of a caval filter. Apropos of a case].
We are reporting of proximal migration, intracardiac, of a percutaneous caval filter (LEM type), resulting in the death of the patient. It is a true, early (1st week) migration after accurate positioning, opposite L4, and not an incident of insertion.
