A greenfield filter was implanted on (b)(6) 2003.On (b)(6) 2015 it was noted there was perforation.The filter was noted to be fractured, tilted and migration had occurred.No further patient complications were reported.It was further reported that during the filter implant procedure it was documented that the filter was deployed below the level of the renal veins at the l2 level.No complications were encountered.On (b)(6) 2017, the patient received a ct exam of the abdomen without contrast.Findings revealed that the ivc filter with the proximal tip located approximately 1cm below the renal veins and is angulated to the right and anterior to by approximately 10 15 degrees.The ivc is flattened.This makes evaluation somewhat difficult.The proximal tip of the filter appears to abut and likely extends beyond the wall of the anterior ivc.There are 6 struts.The most posterior strut is fractured with the distal 1.4cm fractured strut fragment partially buried within the l3 inferior vertebral body.The remaining 5 struts all extend beyond the ivc wall without definite involvement of adjacent structures.
