  • Title: Successful management of inferior vena cava thrombus complicating advanced germ cell testicular tumor with temporary inferior vena cava filter.
    Author: Masui S, Onishi T, Arima K, Sugimura Y.
    Journal: Int J Urol; 2005 May; 12(5):513-5. PubMed ID: 15948757.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of right testicular tumor with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus. Due to the risk of pulmonary embolization, a temporary IVC filter had been inserted during chemotherapy. There were no complications with the temporary IVC filter during the implantation period. The patient was safely treated with systemic chemotherapy using a temporary IVC filter followed by retroperitoneal lymph node and vena cava dissection.
