This report describes the technical feasibility of using the filter eversion technique after unsuccessful retrieval aftempts of Option and Option ELITE (Argon Medical Devices, Inc, Athens, Texas) inferior vena cava (WC) filters. This technique entails the use of endoscopic forceps to evert this specific brand of IVC filter into a sheath inserted into the common femoral vein, in the opposite direction in which the filter is designed to be removed. Filter eversion was attempted in 25 cases with a median dwell time of 134 days (range, 442,124 d). Retrieval success was 100% (25/25 cases), with an overall complication rate of 8%. This technique warrants further study.
