The diagnosis of venous thromboembolism during pregnancy is complicated by the physiological changes that occur during gestation. Management with anticoagulants is the treatment of choice, while endovascular interventions are reserved for exceptional cases. We report a case of placement of a removable inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) in a pregnant woman with left iliofemoral venous thrombosis during latent labor. After delivery, the IVCF was successfully removed with no maternal or fetal complications and anticoagulation was resumed. Considering the risks associated with IVCFs in pregnant women, their use should be restricted to cases with formal contraindications to anticoagulation and high risk of PE. Additional precautions minimize fetal radiation exposure. The decision to place an IVCF during pregnancy is complex and requires interdisciplinary discussion. Further research is needed to assess its impact.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1677-5449.202600712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T10:51:02Z","timestamp":1791543062000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Vena cava filter placement during pregnancy: a therapeutic challenge"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9487-9770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateus Alves Borges","family":"Cristino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rede Mater Dei de Sa\u00fade","place":["Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil"]},{"name":"Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo","place":["S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brasil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6440-8011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronald Luiz Gomes","family":"Flumignam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo","place":["S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brasil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1175-0795","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gustavo Braga","family":"Murta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rede Mater Dei de Sa\u00fade","place":["Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5329-7819","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcos Ar\u00eaas","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro","place":["Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil"]},{"name":"Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro","place":["Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","article-title":"Tromboembolismo venoso na mulher: novos desafios para uma velha doen\u00e7a","volume":"19","author":"Oliveira ALML","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Vasc Bras"},{"key":"ref2","article-title":"Venous thromboembolism in women","volume":"69","author":"Peclat ARM","year":"2023","journal-title":"Rev Assoc Med Bras"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1590\/1677-5449.202301071","article-title":"Diretrizes sobre trombose venosa profunda da Sociedade Brasileira de Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular","volume":"23","author":"Sobreira ML","year":"2024","journal-title":"J Vasc Bras"},{"issue":"7","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"778","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.1981.tb01285.x","article-title":"Extensive thrombo-embolic disease in pregnancy treated with a Kimray Greenfield vena cava filter.
