CT scan images, illustrating the collapse of the upper segment of IVC, with unchanged placement of the IVCF and no evident intra-abdominal haemorrhage (a). Further CTV images (b and c) revealed no contrast filling around and beneath the filter. Additionally, the vessels below the IVCF, including the bilateral common iliac veins and their distal branches, appeared engorged and enlarged. Contrast enhancement was poor in this area. Above the level of the IVCF, the vessel lumens appeared narrowed and flattened, with visible contrast enhancement. These findings collectively suggest thrombotic inferior vena cava occlusion below the IVCF
