Transcatheter interventions across an inferior vena cava filter

Patients who suffer from an embolic event often undergo placement of an inferior vena caval filter. Few data are available regarding treatment of this patient population with concurrent right‐to‐left shunting across an atrial communication. We report four cases of transcatheter device closure of an...
