Surgical removal of vena cava filter located on the right ventricle associated with bilateral pulmonary thromboendarterectomy case report

چکیده
Background The use of vena cava filter has been broadly indicated for the prevention of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in patients with contraindication for the use of anticoagulants, PTE recurrence during anticoagulation, prophylactic and temporary use in surgical patients with high risk of thromboembolism, and with contraindication for anticoagulation. This is a procedure of easy execution and low risk of complications. However, cases have been reported of the device migration to cardiac chambers with high morbidity and risk of death caused by arrhythmias, tricuspid valve insufficiency, cardiac tamponade, and cardiogenic shock. We are reporting the case of a patient submitted to neurosurgery who developed profound venous thrombosis immediately after surgery. Due to the formal contraindication for anticoagulation, she was submitted to a vena cava filter engraft.
