Abstract: So far, more than 20 types of inferior vena cava filter(IVCF) are used in clinical practice. Although several IVCFs have been unavailable in the market, most of the IVCFs are still in use. Clinically, the retrievable IVCFs have been widely employed, but their removal rate is low. Long term indwelling of these IVCFs in patient's body can induce many complications. This paper aims to summarize the characteristics and imaging manifestations of the commonly used IVCFs, so as to improve their clinical application and followup observation with imaging, as well as to improve the ability in identifying IVCF type and in early detecting IVCF-related complications.
