Inferior Vena Cava Filters [PDF]
Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 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.
