Presentation

The patient has a history of previous episodes of DVT-PTE who referred for IVC filter insertion because of recurrent PTE. Intervention via femoral veins failed, and the cardiologist attempted to insert the filter from a jugular vein. The filter could not be inserted in the proper location below the renal veins and lodged at and above the renal veins in an inclined position. CT scan was performed for a detailed evaluation of the venous system and the cause of failed intervention.
