A 55-year-old woman with a bilateral upper extremity deep vein thrombosis and intracranial hemorrhage. (A) A Celect™ filter (Cook, Bloomington, IN) was deployed from a right femoral vein approach. Venogram immediately following superior vena cava (SVC) filter placement shows the filter legs at the junction of the right and left brachiocephalic veins and the tip near the SVC/right atrial junction. (B) Coronal reconstruction from computed tomography of the chest shows the filter in place in the SVC.(C) Later in the patient's hospital course, a PICC line was successfully placed through the SVC filter without complication.
