Fig 1 A, Computed tomography angiography of the abdomen demonstrated the complete thrombosis of the inferior vena cava, just above the renal veins, which were not involved by thrombosis. The filter's hooks perforated the inferior vena cava wall and aorta, in which a mural thrombus is clearly evident. B, Computed tomography axial view showed the perforation of duodenum by the filter's hook (arrow). Note the partial thrombosis of aortic lumen.
