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.

Objective The Simon Nitinol filter is a bi-level filtration device designed for permanent implantation that is no longer commercially available, but may result in similar complications to current commercially available long term indwelling temporary or permanent filters. Complications related to indwelling inferior vena cava filters include inferior vena cava thrombosis, inferior vena cava penetration, filter migration, and filter fracture. There is a paucity of reports describing the technical aspects related to retrieval of Simon Nitinol filters. Materials and methods This study consisted of five patients with Simon Nitinol filters and describes the indication for retrieval, the retrieval techniques used to remove the filters, technical success, complications, and clinical course. Results The indications for retrieval included: abdominal pain ( n = 2; 40%), iliocaval thrombosis ( n = 1; 20%), identification of an intracardiac filter fragment ( n = 1; 20%), and recurrent venous thromboembolic events ( n = 1; 20%). Retrieval techniques included: biopsy forceps ( n = 3; 60%), excimer laser extraction sheaths ( n = 3; 60%), hangman modified loop snares ( n = 3; 60%), rigid endobronchial forceps ( n = 2; 40%), and balloon deflection ( n = 2; 40%). All filters were successfully retrieved. One patient developed a post-procedural intramuscular hematoma near the site of right internal jugular sheath placement. Conclusions Simon Nitinol filters may be retrieved safely and effectively using advanced inferior vena cava filter retrieval techniques.
