Introduction: Totally implantable venous access devices are used extensively worldwide in cancer patients for administration of venotoxic agents, blood sampling, and nutrition. Their tip is usually positioned at the junction of superior vena cava and right atrium. Inferior vena cava filters are usually used for deep venous thrombosis in cases where anticoagulation is contraindicated; they can be inserted either via internal jugular or femoral access depending on patient conditions and preference. Case description: We are describing here a case of totally implantable venous access device fracture following a right internal jugular approach for inferior vena cava filter placement as the patient had inferior vena cava thrombus below the renal veins, extending into the right common iliac vein prohibiting femoral approach. Conclusion: Iatrogenic fracture of totally implantable venous access device is a potential complication of accessing the internal jugular vein for other procedures such as insertion of inferior vena cava filter.

Abstract Purpose of review Describe the role of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) retrieval in patients on chronic anticoagulation given the overlap of these treatment options in the management of patients with venous thromboembolic disease. Recent findings Despite the increase in IVCF retrievals since the Food and Drug Administration safety communications in 2010 and 2014, retrieval rates remain low. Previous studies have shown that longer filter dwell times are associated with greater risk for filter complications and more difficulty with filter retrievals. Recent findings suggest that complications are more frequent in the first 30 days after placement. Summary The decision to retrieve an optional IVCF is individualized and requires diligent follow-up with consistent re-evaluation of the need for the indwelling IVCF, particularly in those on long-term anticoagulation therapy.
