Özet
Inferior vena cava filters are considered the therapeutic modality for treatment of deep venous thrombosis in patients who are not candidates for anticoagulation therapy. Filter migration to the heart is a rare but serious complication. In this report we present two cases of Inferior vena cava filters that migrated to the heart and how they were managed. © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
