  • Title: Removal of a Günther Tulip retrievable inferior vena cava filter after 147 days in a pediatric patient.
    Author: Mody RN, Stokes LS, Bream PR, Spottswood SE.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 2006 May; 36(5):440-4. PubMed ID: 16532347.
    Abstract:
    A Günther Tulip retrievable inferior vena cava filter was placed in a 9-year-old boy with T-cell ALL who had both iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and acute intracranial hemorrhage. The filter was removed 147 days after placement, when the patient was no longer at increased risk for DVT or pulmonary embolus. Removal of the filter did not compromise flow through the vena cava.
