INFERIOR VENA CAVA FILTER
Pulmonary embolism is an important cause of death.
In order to prevent this, in the patient group patients with a history of venous clots, patients who still undergo pulmonary clots despite appropriate blood thinning treatments, patients with a condition to prevent them from receiving anticoagulant medication, bedridden patients with limited mobility, or as a result will not be able to move for a long time, it is appropriate to place a filter on the main vein segment (inferior vena cava) below the kidney or sometimes above the renal vein level in special cases.
The ideal for these filters is to remove the filter when the risky situation disappears.
However, it may be more appropriate for some patients to have a permanent filter when the risk is not eliminated.
The filters can be easily inserted from the veins of the leg and neck by the closed angiographic method and can be retrieved in the same ways by the non-surgical method.
