    Author: Kumar BC, Chakraverty S, Zealley I.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2006; 29(1):124-5. PubMed ID: 16328691.
    Abstract:
    Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are increasingly used for prevention of life-threatening pulmonary emboli in patients who have contraindications to anticoagulation therapy. We report a case of the removal of a permanent IVC filter, which was inadvertently inserted due to an incorrect ultrasound report.
