This book addresses placement and retrieval of inferior vena cava
(IVC) filters. Until 2010, utilization of IVC filters had been
increasing since their introduction in 1967. Studies in the early
2000's, however, identified that prolonged caval interruption with
IVC filters were fraught with complications including filter
fracture, migration, and caval thrombosis. This subsequently led
the FDA to issue an advisory recommending judicious placement and
timely retrieval of IVC filters by treating physicians. This safety
advisory ultimately created a heightened awareness by medical
professionals and the general public regarding the negative
consequences surrounding long-term caval filtration. Subsequently,
IVC filter placements decreased nationally while retrievals
conversely increased in the post-FDA advisory era. During this same
time period, interest in complex IVC filter retrieval also
increased as a method to manage patients identified to have or be
at risk for complications secondary to prolonged filter
implantation. Given these established trends and interest
surrounding advanced techniques in IVC filter retrieval, this book
addresses these topics in a reader-friendly, case-based format.
Chapters focus particularly around the recognition and management
of filter-related complications. Additionally, advanced techniques
employed by experienced operators for complex filter retrieval are
also discussed. For completeness, the book also includes a review
of indications and appropriate methods for IVC filter placement.
This book is unique in that, at present, descriptions of
complications and advanced techniques utilized for complicated IVC
filter removal consist mainly of case reports and case series
scattered throughout the literature. This publication serves to
compile these sources into a single comprehensive entity for
physicians treating patients with IVC filters. Chapters are
organized to begin with a few introductory paragraphs highlighting
the relevant literature (and providing references for in-depth
reading) followed by several cases demonstrating tips, tricks, and
procedural pitfalls. When possible, each case will include a
step-by-step description of the technique being described. This is
an ideal guide for interventional radiologists, interventional
cardiologists, and vascular surgeons that perform or are interested
in performing filter retrieval beyond standard techniques.
