However, device migration to the heart is not frequent and occurs in cases after inferior vena cava filter fracture. We present the case of a young woman who was submitted to a routine inferior vena cava filter placement three days before and presented with hemodynamic instability. Since the device was not retrievable, the surgical team opted for an open cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass to remove the inferior vena cava filter and avoid other further complications.-engCardiopulmonary BypassThoracic SurgeryEquipment and SuppliesHemodynamicsVena Cava FiltersArtigo10.21470/1678-9741-2021-0438S0102-76382022005004209Acesso abertoS0102-76382022005004209.pdf
