Suggest Treatment For Failed Gunther Tulip Filter

I have a Gunther tulip filter. Put in in2007 was to be removed with in two weeks of a surgery I had. The doctor that put it in was to remove but said it was already invaded in and could not remove. I m reading that the little (legs) can break and move on some. Are there any cases of this brand of filter reported.
