Abstract
We present a case of penetration of inferior venacava (IVC) by primary struts of Cook Celect filter and impingement on right ureter, causing symptomatic hydronephrosis and hydroureter, which was managed surgically by ureterolysis, mobilization of the ureter by retroperitoneal approach, excision of the filter strut, and omental wrap around the ureter.
