متن کاملInferior vena cava filters.
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. Accepted indications for IVCF placement include the presence of acute venous thromboembolism with inability to admin...
متن کاملTen-year experience of retrievable inferior vena cava filters in a tertiary referral center.
PURPOSE A significant proportion of patients undergoing surgery have an increased incidence of acute pulmonary embolus (PE).
