Inferior Vena Cava Filter Penetration Resulting in Renal Pelvis Rupture With Urinoma Formation

Abstract

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter penetration is common and most often asymptomatic. However, penetration may potentially result in a variety of complications, including aortic trauma and small bowel perforation. Described is a case of IVC filter penetration resulting in renal pelvis perforation with urinoma formation.
