AB  - This study evaluated the use of the grasp-and-fold technique for complex forceps 
      retrieval of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters. A retrospective study of 14 
      patients (12 women and 2 men) who had either deeply tip-embedded or severely 
      distorted IVC filters was performed at a single institution over 10 years. In 
      this technique, endobronchial forceps were used to fold the filter in half to 
      remove it through the sheath because the filter tip could not be accessed by 
      dissection. The grasp-and-fold technique successfully removed all 14 filters. One 
      patient had retained filter struts, which were present before the procedure. One 
      mild and 5 moderate adverse events (AEs), including fracture fragment 
      embolization requiring retrieval and self-limited IVC extravasation, occurred. No 
      severe AEs occurred. In this small patient cohort, the grasp-and-fold forceps 
      technique successfully retrieved deeply tip-embedded or distorted IVC filters 
      with inaccessible tips.
