RESUMEN
The use of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters has been increasingly prevalent. Although they are relatively safe with clear indications, they are not without complications. Late-onset complications include IVC filter migration, IVC wire fracture, wire strut penetration, and perforation of organs in its vicinity. In this report, we present the case of a patient with small bowel volvulus secondary to an IVC wire strut migration, causing tethering of the mesentery and vascular compromise to the small bowel.
