Introduction: Severe tilt with embedded hooks is a common obstacle to successful inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrieval.
Methods: Disposal biopsy forceps were used to remodel the filter hook in the center position to release the embedded hook from the caval wall.
Results: The biopsy forceps-assisted loop snare technique was successfully used to retrieve filters with hooks embedded in the IVC wall.
Conclusion: The biopsy forceps-assisted loop snare technique we present here offers a new solution for the complex retrieval of IVC filters. This technique may prove useful in cases where standard techniques at filter retrieval fail.
