Abstract:
Retrievable vena cava filters can be used to prevent pulmonary embolism. The advantage of the retrievable vena cava filters is that they can either be removed or be remained in the vena cava permanently if needed. This article describes the current status of retrievable vena cava filters including indications, outcomes, patient management, time of filter removal, and the management of thrombus in the filter.
