Zusammenfassung

Das Risiko der Dislokation von Cava-Filtern durch die Wand der Vena cava beträgt ca. 25%, wobei Patienten mit dieser Komplikation oft asymptomatisch sind. Aufgrund der engen anatomischen Beziehung zwischen Vena cava und Duodenum, kann eine Filterdislokation zu einer Verletzung des Duodenums führen. Wir beschreiben die klinische Präsentation, das diagnostische Vorgehen und die Behandlung einer Patientin mit Dislokation und Penetration eines Cava-Schirmes ins Duodenum und stellen eine Literaturübersicht vor.

Abstract

The risk of penetration of vena cava filters through the wall of the vena cava is estimated to be as high as 25%, although clinical symptoms are observed far less frequently in patients with this complication. Due to the close relationship between vena cava and duodenum, the latter can be injured by dislocated filters. We describe the presentation, evaluation, and treatment of a patient with a cava filter protruding into the duodenum, and we review the literature.
