Patient allegedly received an implant on (b)(6) 2015 via the right jugular vein due to bariatric surgery.Patient is alleging tilt and vena cava perforation.The patient further alleges left side chest pain, physical limitations, anxiety, and depression.Report from ct (computed tomography): "there is an ivc filter.The tip is at the level of the inferior endplate of l2.The tip is approximately 2.2 cm below the level of the entrance of the renal veins.The anterior and posterior strut are projecting outside the lumen of the ivc.The posterior strut projecting approximately 6 mm outside in the anterior strut projecting approximately 3 mm outside.The right-sided strut projecting approximately 2 mm outside and the left-sided strut at the wall or possibly projecting 1 to 2 mm outside.The lip is against the anterior ivc wall and i cannot rule out some outside projection by a few millimeters.There is no evidence for strut migration.There is no evidence of significant vena caval stenosis.The filter chip is approximately 2 degrees from the horizontal plain on the coronal image in approximately 7 degrees anterior tilt on the sagittal imaging.There is no evidence of abnormal involvement with another organ as there is a fat plane between the tip and the region of the duodenum.No evidence for fractured strut.".
