  • Title: Recurrent pulmonary embolism after Greenfield filter placement.
    Author: Geisinger MA, Zelch MG, Risius B.
    Journal: Radiology; 1987 Nov; 165(2):383-4. PubMed ID: 3659361.
    Abstract:
    Three patients with documented recurrent pulmonary embolism with an inferior vena cava (IVC) Greenfield filter in place were examined with contrast-material-enhanced cavography. Mechanisms for recurrent pulmonary embolism were found to be propagation of thrombus through the filter struts, occlusion of the IVC at the level of the filter, and loss of contact of the filter hooks with a portion of the caval wall.
