title: Endovascular retrieval of a TrapEase permanent inferior vena cava filter from the aorta.
abstract: Intra-aortic inferior vena cava filter placement is a rare event. We describe a case in which a permanent vena caval filter was retrieved from the aorta with endovascular techniques. Knowledge of filter design, catheters, and available wires is important to perform this procedure safely.
