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.

Vena cava filters and inferior vena cava thrombosis [PDF]
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

Inferior Vena Cava Filters [PDF]
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)

Inferior vena cava filter fracture and migration to the pulmonary artery
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters provide a safe and effective method for protecting against pulmonary embolisms in patients for whom standard anticoagulation therapy for acute deep vein thrombosis is contraindicated.

Total laparoscopic retrieval of inferior vena cava filter
While there is some local variability in the use of inferior vena cava filters and there has been some evolution in the indications for filter placement over time, inferior vena cava filters remain a standard option for pulmonary embolism prophylaxis ...

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 ...

Considerable progress has been made in the last decade in understanding the natural history of “treated” venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE occurs at a rate of 1/1000 in the general population1 and significantly increases with age, especially after age 60, with rates as high as 1/100.2 Duplex ultrasonography has largely replaced venography as the ...
