Hemorrhagic and/or thrombotic episodes are frequent, and thrombosis of both veins and arteries may develop.

متن کاملDuodenal Perforation Caused by an Inferior Vena Cava Filter
The inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is known as an effective and safe method for preventing fatal pulmonary thromboembolism in patients with deep vein thrombosis. Usually, the remaining IVC filters are asymptomatic and do not cause clinical problems. We report a case of duodenal perforation caused by a remaining IVC filter.
