2025年1月24日 · Inferior vena cava filter, or just IVC filter, is an endovascular device that is typically placed in the infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC) to prevent pulmonary embolism in selected patients. This procedure is most often performed by interventional radiologists under fluoroscopic guidance.

OPTEASE Retrievable Vena Cava Filters are an innovative option for prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism. Dual-layer filtration for optimum clot capture and prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism; Fixation barbs help protect against cranial migration

2020年12月4日 · Although most patients can be managed safely with anticoagulation, inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) represent an important alternative to anticoagulation in a small subset of patients. IVCF use has expanded exponentially with the advent of retrievable filters.

Vena caval interruption, currently accomplished by percutaneous image-guided insertion of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter, is an important therapeutic option in the management of selected patients with venous thromboembolism.

Indications for IVC filter placement include contraindications to anticoagulation, complications secondary to anticoagulation, inability to achieve adequate anticoagulation, and failure of anticoagulation in those patients with or at risk for venous thromboembolism.

2019年7月30日 · Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are commonly used in patients who are at risk for life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE). Inaccurate identification can lead to confusion in options for filter retrieval and anticoagulation.

2024年5月3日 · In patients who cannot be therapeutically anticoagulated, inferior vena cava (IVC) filters can be placed to provide mechanical clot filtration to prevent PE in the setting of DVT. First introduced in the 1960s, IVC filters have evolved into low …

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are commonly used in patients who are at risk for life-threatening pulmonary embolism. After the introduction of permanent devices, numerous retrievable and convertible designs became available. Inaccurate identification can lead to confusion in options for filter retrieval and anticoagulation. CONCLUSION.

Herein we describe the off-label use of a rotating dilator sheath lead retractor for the retrieval of long-standing inferior vena cava filters in two patients despite evidence of extrusion beyond the IVC wall. The device is currently intended for removal of embedded pacemaker leads.

The OPTEASE® Vena Cava Filter was designed to perform predictably and dependably. It allows you to focus on the effective treatment of your patients rather than the risk of caval perforation, migration or strut embolization.
