Vena cava filters and inferior vena cava thrombosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

Vena Cava Filters [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2005
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 ...
