N2  - The OptEase inferior vena cava filter (OIVCF) after prolonged indwelling times sometimes faced with complicate retrieval of the filter using standard technique (ST) via the common femoral vein (CFV). Here we describe a novel strategy for the retrieval of OIVCF after prolonged indwelling times via the internal jugular vein. We failed to retrieve the filter using the ST on post implantation day 38. We reattempted to retrieve the filter on day 72 via the right internal jugular vein and right CFV. Using a 10-Fr guiding catheter and vascular retrieval forceps (VRF), we retrieved the OIVCF via the right internal jugular vein.
