Allergic Reaction following Implantation of a Nitinol Alloy Inferior Vena Cava Filter.
A 67-year-old woman developed severe pruritus after implantation of a retrievable nitinol inferior vena cava (IVC) filter (55.4% nickel and 44.6% titanium). The pruritus resolved only after filter retrieval. The patient's hypersensitivity to nickel was confirmed by a positive skin patch test substantiating a systemic allergic reaction to the implanted nitinol IVC filter.
