This faithful IVC filter did it's job darn well, well passed its age, until it was forced into retirement!

Hook angled into wall on this filter, couldn’t get a snare around it, but came right out with the forceps. Friday.

Yesterday, I did my first primary operator loop snare IVC filter retrieval on a 3 month old Denali.

Today, I did my first primary operator forceps retrieval on a Celect placed 7 years ago.

So. Freaking. Satisfying.

I totally get it now.

8 week old with some apical thrombus. Patient has been on Elliquis for 6 weeks. Would you just pull it? Mechanical thrombectomy? More AC and relook? Here it was pulled with an oversized sheath removing mostly chronic thrombus along with the filter
