Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement guided by color ultrasonography for the prevention of pulmonary embolism(PE) in cases of deep veous thrombosis(DVT) of the lower extremity. Methods From May 2002 to July 2003, 30 DVT cases were admitted and treated by IVC filter placement under the guide of color ultrasound. Fifteen cases received open thrombectomy immediately after filter placement, others were treated conservatively.Results Filters were successfully placed in all patients without complications except for one case in which occlusion was found during follow up of 1～14 months. Four patients surviving previous PE attacks before the placement of a filter had no more PE attacks thereafter. Conclusions IVC filter placement guided by color ultrasonography can prevent PE due to DVT effectively.
