It is alleged that the patient received a celect inferior vena cava (ivc) filter on (b)(6) 2011 via the right internal jugular vein due to deep vein thrombosis (dvt).Successful percutaneous filter removed on (b)(6) 2011 due to it being a temporary placement.(b)(6) 2011 , per a report from implant report; "angiographic findings: the suprarenal inferior vena cava is patent.There is thrombus extending from the left superficial femoral vein and the right common femoral vein to the inferior vena cava bilaterally.The thrombus is occlusive of the iliac veins.The thrombus extends cephalad to the previous inferior vena cava filter extending 2 cm proximal to the filter tip.This is consistent with the ct angiogram findings of clot extending above the right renal vein but below the left renal vein."
