The Successful Removal of Two Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filters after 67 Days in a Patient with a Double IVC
We herein present a case in which two retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters, which were implanted to treat deep-vein thrombosis caused by the compression of a double IVC, were successfully removed on the 67th day after placement. The filters were individually placed in both the left and right IVCs. With a prevalence of only 0.2%, a double IVC is an extremely rare anatomical variation. Th...
متن کاملLate removal of retrievable caval filters.
The advent of retrievable caval filters was a game changer in the sense, that the previously irreversible act of implanting a medical device into the main venous blood stream of the body requiring careful evaluation of the pros and cons prior to execution suddenly became a "reversible" procedure where potential hazards in the late future of the patient lost most of their weight at the time of d...
متن کاملRetrievable versus nonretrievable coils.
I have read with great attention the article written by Chaloupka et al (1) in the August 1996 issue of AJNR. They treated two patients with nonretrievable coils. Although they did not have any complication, I wonder whether it is reasonable to offer a treatment that bears substantial risk of having one coil migrate into the parent vessel without the option of retrieving the coil, or only with ...
متن کاملRetrievable Inferior Vena Cava Filters for Venous Thromboembolism
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are used as an alternative to anticoagulants for prevention of fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) in venous thromboembolic disorders. Retrievable IVC filters have become an increasingly attractive option due to the long-term risks of permanent filter placement. These devices are shown to be technically feasible in insertion and retrieval percutaneously while providin...
متن کاملVenous thrombotic, thromboembolic, and mechanical complications after retrievable inferior vena cava filters for major trauma.
BACKGROUND The ideal thromboprophylaxis in patients at risk of bleeding is uncertain. This retrospective cohort study assessed the risk factors for complications after using retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters for primary or secondary thromboembolism prophylaxis in patients after major trauma. METHODS Using data from radiology, trauma and death registries, the incidence of and risk f...
