Retrieval of trapped Gunther tulip inferior vena cava filters: Snare-over-guide wire loop technique JOURNAL OF VASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY Kuo, W. T., Bostaph, A. S., Loh, C. T., Frisoli, J. K., Kee, S. T. 2006; 17 (11): 1845-1849Abstract
The Günther Tulip inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is designed for transjugular retrieval with use of a sheath and snare device. This report describes a technique for removal of difficult-to-retrieve Günther Tulip IVC filters when the standard method fails. In a series of four patients, each with an IVC filter refractory to capture by snare alone, the use of a snare-over-guide wire loop technique succeeded in retrieving the filter in all cases.
