VENA CAVA FILTER DEVICES

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1995
Vena cava filters are effective in preventing pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with deep vein thrombosis or PE who either have contraindications to anticoagulation or have sustained a PE despite adequate anticoagulation. Although vena cava filters are not without complications, clinically significant morbidity and mortality are low.

Vena-cava-Filter

2018
Zur Implantation von Vena-cava-Filtern liegen nur sehr wenige randomisierte Studien vor, die Datenlage fur eine Indikationsempfehlung ist mangelhaft. Wahrend in den USA in Feldstudien zum Teil sehr hohe Implantationsraten berichtet werden – mit regional auserst unterschiedlicher Verteilung – empfiehlt die deutsche Leitlinie groste Zuruckhaltung.

Update on vena cava filters

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement has increased dramatically over the past two decades. Filters are indicated to prevent pulmonary embolism in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and a contraindication to anticoagulation or a complication of anticoagulation.

Vena-cava-Filter

Der Radiologe, 2007
Fulminant pulmonary embolism is one of the major causes of death in the Western World. In most cases, deep leg and pelvic venous thrombosis are the cause. If an anticoagulant/thrombotic therapy is no longer possible or ineffective, a vena cava filter implant may be indicated if an embolism is threatening. Implantation of the filter is a simple and safe

Vena Cava Filters: An Update

Future Cardiology, 2006
Venous thromboembolism is a major health problem that results in significant long-term complications and mortality. The management of venous thromboembolism is complex and can be particularly challenging when pharmacological therapy alone cannot be effectively utilized.

Dual Inferior Vena Cava: Two Inferior Vena Cava Filters

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007
The 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.

Misplacement of a vena cava filter in the retroperitoneum

Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 1987
An inferior vena cava filter was misplaced into the pericaval retroperitoneum. This was probably secondary to placement into and avulsion of the right spermatic vein. The filter delivery system was modified, and such misplacement should now be impossible.

Vena Cava Filters in Surgery and Trauma

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2007
Vena cava filters are widely used to prevent pulmonary embolic events in patients who have known venous thromboses, or in select patients deemed to be at high risk for these events. There are few prospective or well-controlled data regarding the efficacy and appropriate indications for vena cava filter use in surgical patients.

Update on Inferior Vena Cava Filters

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2003
The 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
