Implantation of an IVC filter is effective in the prevention of fatal pulmonary embolism. Here, we present an extremely rarely case of cement entrapped in an IVC filter after pedicle screw augmentation, and discuss all similar cases reported in the literature.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 70-year-old female presented with significant back and lower extremities pain and was unable to walk. MRI of the lumbar spine revealed an osteoporotic compression fracture of the L1\u2013L3. She underwent cement-augmented pedicle screws implanted at the L1 and L3 vertebral bodies. A retrievable IVC filter was implanted due to the presence of calf vein thrombosis before cement vertebroplasty. Cement leaked into the IVC and was trapped by the filter, rendering the filter unretrievable using a conventional method. The asymptomatic patient received rivaroxaban 20 mg daily for anticoagulant postoperatively and lifelong anticoagulation was administered to prevent secondary IVC and cemented filter thrombosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A literature search was conducted utilizing the PUBMED\/MEDLINE using the following terms: \u201cvertebroplasty,\u201d \u201ccomplication,\u201d \u201cbone cement,\u201d and \u201cinferior vena cava (IVC),\u201d or \u201cinferior vena cava (IVC) filter.\u201d All relevant articles published in English or in other languages with English abstracts since 1962 were included.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 36 articles were retrieved according to the search strategy.
