Fig. 1 A, Plain abdominal radiography performed after insertion of GF in 1986 demonstrates its location at level of first lumbar vertebral body. B, Plain abdominal radiography performed in 1993 demonstrates caudal migration, 30-degree left angulation of GF, and rupture of one of its six struts.

Fig. 2 Abdominal computed tomography scan demonstrates perforation of inferior vena cava by struts and perforation of aorta by ruptured strut. A, Hub of filter is left-sided in IVC. B, Angulation of filter to left with perforation of IVC by struts. C, Penetration of aorta by ruptured strut. D, Ruptured strut is free in aortic lumen.

Fig. 6 Scanning electron microphotograph of hub of filter. A, Proximal part of ruptured strut is still present in hub. B, At higher magnification, we noted dendritic structure and smooth area. This smooth aspect is probably due to pervious crack during setting and folding process.

Fig. 7 Scanning electron microphotograph of distal part of ruptured strut. A, About 20% of strut section (arrow) was still connected after setting process. On right side we observed that skin of strut is folded toward central part of section. B, Higher magnification of ruptured area of strut that was still connected after setting process.
