IVC Filter Fracture
Find your care
Our clinic is nationally and internationally renowned for IVC filter removal. Call to learn more about the IVC Filter Clinic at UCLA Health.
The legs, also known as the ‘struts’, of the IVC filter can break off. These legs can then travel to other areas and may need to be removed. The areas the legs can move to include other blood vessels, the heart and lungs (migration).
