Abstract
Herein we present a unique case of a penetrating arm of a migrated inferior vena cava (IVC) filter which resulted in acute, erosive upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The diagnosis was initially complicated by a previously placed hemostatic clip for prior gastrointestinal bleeding. Ultimately, the patient required an anterior duodenotomy for partial removal of the IVC filter and later required laser guided retrieval of the retained portion.
