Figure (A) Inferior vena cava angiography in patient asymptomatic for DVT during transcatheter PFO closure. (B) The patient was treated with a vena cava filter rather than a PFO occluder device to avoid the catastrophic consequences (pulmonary embolism, massive stroke) of the dislocation of thrombus by large sheaths.
