Surgical techniques, perioperative outcomes, and a sensitivity analysis were described.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Laparoscopic retrieval was attempted in all 28 patients and completed laparoscopically in 25 patients, yielding a laparoscopic completion rate of 89.3%. Three patients required conversion to open surgery, corresponding to a conversion rate of 10.7%. Complete filter removal was achieved in 27 patients, resulting in an overall technical success rate of 96.4% when open conversion cases were included. One patient experienced intraoperative IVCF injury with massive hemorrhage and died in the early postoperative period despite conversion to open surgery, vascular repair, transfusion, and intensive care support. No routine caval occlusion was required in completed laparoscopic cases. During follow-up, no recurrent pulmonary embolism, symptomatic IVCF occlusion, or procedure-related late mortality was observed among surviving patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Laparoscopic IVCF retrieval may be a feasible second-line option in selected patients with failed or anticipated technically challenging endovascular retrieval. The laparoscopic completion rate should be distinguished from the overall technical success rate, which includes cases completed after open conversion. Because this study lacked a comparator group, these findings should be interpreted as descriptive and should not be used to infer superiority over open surgery or advanced endovascular techniques.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2026.1789114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]],"date-time":"2026-06-02T04:28:45Z","timestamp":1780374525000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Laparoscopic removal of retrievable inferior vena cava filters after failed or anticipated technically challenging endovascular retrieval: a retrospective case series of 28 patients"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Peng","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianlong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pengji","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunxin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuan","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiyuan","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinyong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chengjia","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Run","family":"Hua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhicun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenyang","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2050313X15597356","article-title":"Total laparoscopic retrieval of inferior vena cava filter","volume":"3","author":"Benrashid","year":"2015","journal-title":"SAGE Open Med.
