Abstract
The following case report demonstrates an unusual case of a patient with multiple intravascular iatrogenic foreign bodies. An inferior vena cava filter was identified in the abdominal aorta, and multiple hydrophilic wire fragments were found in the pulmonary circulation. After describing the management of this patient, we discuss how radiologists can best distinguish between various intravascular iatrogenic foreign bodies. Determining the type of catheter or wire within the patient can not only establish the chronicity of the finding, but can determine whether or not endovascular retrieval is recommended, and by what method. It is of the utmost importance that providers be able to distinguish between various intravascular devices in order to prevent ongoing or further harm to the patient. Published by Elsevier Inc.
