Temporal trends in vena cava filter implantation in public health system inpatients: an 11-year analysis of the largest city in Brazil

Abstract Background Vena cava filter implantation is considered a simple procedure, which can lead to overuse and over-indication. It is nevertheless associated with short and long-term complications. Objectives The goals of this study were to evaluate rates of vena cava filter implantation conducted b...

Successful Left Atrial Appendage Closure with Watchman Device Implantation in Two Patients with Inferior Vena Cava Filters

Percutaneous procedures through femoral access in patients with inferior vena cava (IVC) filter may be at risk of complications. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) through femoral access in patients previously implanted with IVC filter. We described the Watchm...

Introdução: O tromboembolismo venoso é uma condição potencialmente fatal e frequente no paciente oncológico. Muitas vezes, a anticoagulação é inviável, e a colocação do filtro de veia cava (FVC) torna-se uma opção. A indicação clínica, entretanto, é controversa e gera a...

Is routine screening for silent pulmonary embolism justified in patients with deep vein thrombosis?

Abstract The incidence of asymptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) exceeds 70% in patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT), even in cases of distal deep vein thrombosis. We report the case of a patient with a diagnosis of DVT in the lower left limb associated with asymptomatic PE who presented late symptom...

An alternative approach to treatment of inferior vena cava filter perforation

Abstract We report a case of inferior vena cava filter perforation immediately after filter implantation, recognized intraoperatively in a patient undergoing laparotomy for resection of locally advanced ovarian cancer. We describe an alternative approach with strut resection, less invasive than filter re...

Incidence of thrombotic events and complications associated to inferior vena cava filters in patients with and without anticoagulation therapy

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 89 (3), 2019
Abstract Objective: Anticoagulation is the primary management to prevent venous thromboembolism; inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) provide a mechanical prophylactic alternative when anticoagulation is contraindicated. The aim of this study was to evaluate in IVCF patients, whether the initiation of ant...

Abstract: Objective: Rationale for non-routine use of inferior venous cava filters (IVCF) in pulmonary embolism (PE) patients. Methods: Thrombosis mechanisms involved with IVCF placement and removal, the blood-contacting medical device inducing clotting, and the inorganic polyphosphate in the contact...
