After lower vena cava filter placement, up to 30% of patients can develop thrombosis, a severe complication with high morbidity and mortality. We present the case of an 84-year-old patient with massive thrombosis in the inferior vena cava and venous system of the lower limbs after a lower vena cava filter placement.
