This is a video animation of the process of inserting an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter. It also demonstrates how this filter can cause a series of complications. Many patients who undergo this surgery have experienced negative effects. One study mentions that 25% of these patients experience a fracture of their device. Pieces of the IVC break off and migrate through the body. In fact 71% of those devices that fracture eventually migrate to the heart thus causing life threatening symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, buikldup of fluid, and in some cases death.
