Successful retrieval of a vena cava filter in a patient with duodenal perforation by open surgery: a case report and literature review.
Review in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundVena cava filter placement represents a safe and effective intervention to prevent the potential occurrence of pulmonary embolism caused by the dislodgement of deep vein thrombosis. However, prolonged indwelling can lead to some severe and life-threatening complications such as duodenal perforation. CASE PRESENTATION: In 2023, a 60-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a three-month history of intermittent lower abdominal and back pain. She underwent a vena cava filter implantation in 2016, to prevent pulmonary embolism. However, she didn’t receive a systematic follow-up after the procedure, and the filter was not promptly retrieved. The abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan showed that the filter was tilted and had penetrated the duodenal lumen through the wall of the inferior vena cava. Due to the clinical complexity and the missed retrieval window, open surgery retrieval was performed with concurrent repair.
conclusionsIn this case, the filter strut perforated the inferior vena cava wall and entered the duodenum. After radiological evaluation and analysis of the possible filter-associated complications, the vena cava filter was successfully retrieved via open surgery, despite the high failure rate of endovascular retrieval techniques reported in the literature. Furthermore, we conducted a PubMed-based literature review to highlight the characteristics of patients associated with vena cava filter-associated duodenal perforation cases, and to contextualize our findings.
