Abstract

A 39-year-old man presented with chest pain initially attributed to viral pericarditis. He was found to have an embolized inferior vena cava filter strut that perforated the right ventricle. Inferior vena cava filter fracture and embolization should be considered in patients with chest pain and pericardial effusion. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
