Interventional methods have been increasingly used in the
treatment of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis over the past two
decades. While these methods have shown significant success,
they can be associated with certain periprocedural complications.
In this case report, we presented an unusual complication
encountered during the removal of a temporary inferior vena
cava filter in a 55-year-old male patient who underwent hybrid
pharmacomechanical thrombectomy for iliofemoral deep vein
thrombosis and its surgical treatment.
