Event or Problem Description
(b)(6) 2020, per a report from computed tomography; ¿two of the support legs are fractured.The posterior leg is fractured and the fractured piece is seen embedded in the cortex of a vertebra.The right sided strut is fractured.The proximal, attached piece is seen on coronal image 26.The fractured fragment is not seen and likely migrated off the images.The left sided support strut has penetrated 15 mm through the ivc wall and has perforated into the aorta.The anterior support strut has penetrated 17 mm through the ivc wall and has perforated into a loop of small bowel.¿.
Event or Problem Description
Patient allegedly received an implant on (b)(6) 2012 via the right common femoral vein due to deep vein thrombosis (dvt).The patient alleges vena cava perforation, device fracture, and bleeding.Patient notes and further alleges fear.(b)(6) 2020, per a report from computed tomography 2; ¿impression: 1.Ivc filter in place with not all tines discretely seen.Anterior directed tine penetrates the ivc wall and abuts a loop of jejunum.Leftward directed tine penetrates the ivc wall and extends into the wall of the aorta.2.Linear metallic structure overlying the rectosigmoid junction may represent fractured ivc filter tine.¿.
