Endovascular management of IVC syndrome after IVC filter placement.
Approximately 60,000-100,000 Americans die from deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism annually, while the overall estimate of individuals affected is 30,000-600,000. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement has emerged as a break-through endovascular technique which has gained increasing acceptance and has probably saved thousands of lives by preventing fatal thromboembolic events.

متن کاملThe 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 کاملAdvanced Techniques for Complicated IVC Filter Retrievals: A Clinical Perspective
The development of retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters and the expansion of accepted placement indications have resulted in a significant rise in the number of IVC filter placements. However, retrieval rates remain low, increasing the likelihood of longer dwell times and complicated retrievals. Interest in advanced IVC filter retrieval techniques has grown, but standardized approaches ...
متن کاملCase report on the non-operative management of a retrievable inferior vena cava filter perforating the duodenum
INTRODUCTION Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) continues to be a significant source of morbidity for surgical patients. Placement of a retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is used when patients have contraindications to anticoagulation or recurrent pulmonary embolism despite therapeutic anticoagulation. Although retrievable IVC filters are often used, they carry a unique set of risks. PRESENT...
متن کاملIndications, complications, and management of inferior vena cava filters: the experience in 952 patients at an academic hospital with a level I trauma center.
IMPORTANCE Retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters were designed to provide temporary protection from pulmonary embolism, sparing patients from long-term complications of permanent filters. However, many retrievable IVC filters are left in place indefinitely. OBJECTIVES To review the medical records of patients with IVC filters to determine patient demographics and date of and indication...
