Abstract

We report the case of an anterior cage migration that was incarcerated between the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. Removal of the cage was favored over conservative treatment because of potential migration and vessel injury.

Keywords: Large vessel injury; Spine surgery; Spine surgery complication.
