Dual Inferior Vena Cava: Two Inferior Vena Cava Filters
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007The formation of the venous drainage system of the human body is a complex process involving structures forming and regressing in a predefined order. Interruption of any one of these steps results in the formation of a congenital anomaly. Knowledge of these anomalies can prevent us from potential serious and sometimes fatal complications.

Complications of inferior vena cava filters
Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2013With the introduction of retrievable inferior vena cava filters, the number being placed for protection from pulmonary embolism is steadily increasing. Despite this increased usage, the true incidence of complications associated with inferior vena cava filters is unknown.

Complications of Inferior Vena Cava Filters
The American Surgeon, 2003Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters offer a safe and effective means of preventing pulmonary embolus and have reduced complications when compared to earlier techniques of caval interruption. However, despite continued improvement in filters and insertion methods, complications still occur.

Update on Inferior Vena Cava Filters
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2003The ravages of thromboembolic disease continue to plague patients despite improvements in diagnostic imaging and anticoagulation regimens. In certain cases, standard medical therapy for thromboembolism is contraindicated, results in complications, or fails to adequately protect patients from embolic insults. These patients are treated with insertion of

Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement: Preinsertion Inferior Vena Cava Imaging
The American Surgeon, 2003Imaging of the vena vava prior to the insertion of an inferior vena vava (IVC) filter is mandatory to assess IVC diameter and patency, delineate anatomy and venous anomalies, and to direct filter placement for appropriate deployment and avoidance of complications.

Interruption of the inferior vena cava by clip or filter
The American Journal of Medicine, 1984Interruption of the inferior vena cava is usually performed with either external clipping or transvenous filter placement. For patients unable to tolerate general anesthesia and laparotomy, the advantages of transvenous filters rather than clips are obvious. However, for some patients, the use of either clips or filters is possible.

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1992
Background.— Preventing pulmonary embolization by interrupting vena caval flow has been attempted since 1893. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters have been available for 20 years, and currently there are five filters commercially available in the United States (Greenfield filter, Titanium Greenfield filter, Simon-Nitinol filter, Bird's Nest filter, and ...

Since the Greenfield filter was introduced in 1973, inferior vena cava (IVC) filters have evolved and adapted, and their use has exploded. This chapter will review standard and expanded uses of temporary and permanent IVC filters and discuss efficacy and use in specific patient populations. The technical considerations of filter placement and retrieval
