Intracardiac embolization of inferior vena cava filter associated with right atrium perforation and cardiac tamponade

Insertion of inferior vena cava filters has been well established in literature, reducing occurrence of pulmonary embolism after an episode of deep venous thrombosis in patients with contraindication to anticoagulation. There are a small number of complications related to procedure and embolization...
