[Intrarenal migration of two fractured struts of a vena cava filter].
Filter complications are quite common. The most frequent are distal or proximal migration, angulation, vena cava thrombosis or perforation. We report one case of filter struts fracture and their migration in the right kidney. This complication could require a surgical procedure and demonstrates the importance of filter follow-up with regular abdominal plain X-rays and possibly CT scan and/or cavography.
