Inferior Vena Cava Filters [PDF]
JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2013 Venous thromboembolism is common. Most pulmonary emboli arise as thromboses in the deep veins of the lower extremities and may result in serious complications. Inferior vena cava filters (IVCF) are intended to prevent the passage of deep vein thrombosis to the pulmonary arteries.

Inferior Vena Cava Filters [PDF]
World Journal of Surgery, 2006 Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a common disease with significant clinical impact upon our patients. Diagnostic challenges occur because of the nonspecific nature of the presenting symptoms. The advent of multidetector computed tomography, methods to stratify patients into VTE risks (low, intermediate, high) along with serological assays (D-dimers)

Vena cava filters and inferior vena cava thrombosis [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2007 Retrievable vena cava filters (R-VCF) are a recent addition to the therapeutic armamentarium for the prevention of pulmonary embolism. However, unlike permanent vena cava filters (P-VCF), outcomes data are limited regarding complication rates.This was a retrospective comparative analysis of consecutive patients undergoing placement of R-VCF vs P-VCF at

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2015 Under fluoroscopic guidance, IVC filters are placed percutaneously via the jugular or femoral vein. Current guidelines recommend use in patients with known venous thromboembolism who have an absolute contraindication to anticoagulant therapy (e.g., patients with hemorrhagic stroke or ...

A review of inferior vena cava filters
The British Journal of Radiology, 2022 The care of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) is delivered via a multidisciplinary team. The primary treatment for VTE is anticoagulation; however, placement of filter devices in the inferior vena cava (IVC) to prevent embolisation of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a well-established secondary treatment option.

Complications of inferior vena cava filters [PDF]
Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, 2016 Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement is a relatively low risk alternative for prophylaxis against pulmonary embolism in patients with pelvic or lower extremity deep venous thrombosis who are not suitable for anticoagulation. There is an increasing trend in the number of IVC filter implantation procedures performed every year. There are many device

Inferior vena cava filter thrombosis [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports, 2015 Key Clinical MessagePatients with inferior vena cava (IVC) filters – particularly permanent filters – are at increased risk for recurrent deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Judicious use of IVC filters, as well as the prompt retrieval of temporary IVC filters, substantially reduces the risk of IVC thrombosis.

Inferior Vena Cava Filter Insertion [PDF]
Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2006 Inferior vena cava filtration is a common albeit controversial practice. Filter insertion varies widely by hospital. In my practice, nearly all patients with deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism who are unable to undergo anticoagulation receive an inferior vena cava filter.

Inferior Vena Cava Filters: An Overview
Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular JournalFor patients with existing venous thromboembolisms (VTEs), anticoagulation remains the standard of care recommended across multiple professional organizations. However, for patients who developed a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and/or a pulmonary embolism and cannot tolerate anticoagulation, inferior vena cava (IVC) filters must be considered among ...
