Effectiveness of Inferior Vena Cava Filters without Anticoagulation Therapy for Prophylaxis of Recurrent Pulmonary Embolism

Abstract: ObjectiveThe optimal treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is anticoagulation therapy. Inferior vena cava filter (IVC) placement is another option for the prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with deep vein thrombosis. This is used mostly in patients with a contraindication to anticoagulant therapy. The purpose of the present study was to compare the two options.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of two groups of patients with DVT: patients who received an IVC filter and did not receive anticoa… Show more

“…30 IVC filters can be placed in the IVC to prevent mobile thrombus from becoming PEs when anticoagulation therapy and thrombolytics are ineffective. 31 Thrombectomy, or the surgical removal of a thrombus, may be necessary in some cases of thrombus and/or PE.…”

“…Poate fi utilizat și filtrul temporar de venă cavă. Un studiu bazat pe compararea a 92 pacienți cărora le-a fost instalat filtru de venă cavă cu 92 pacienți tratați doar cu anticoagulante nu a determinat diferențe statistic veridice a incidenței embolismului pulmonar (3% și 7% respectiv) [53]. Insuficiența renală acută este tratată prin resuscitare hidrică și stoparea medicației nefrotoxice; pneumonia și sepsisul necesită antibiotice și aport de fluide; tratamentul delirului subînțelege eliminarea remediilor pro-colinergice și reducerea stimulilor externi.…”

“…16 Large observational studies evaluating the benefit of IVCFs in patients with acute VTE and contraindications to anticoagulation have reported conflicting results, and no prospective studies have been performed. 17,18 Nevertheless, as in case 1, therapeutic IVCF placement for acute VTE with contraindication to anticoagulation is the only consensus indication for routine IVCF placement. [4][5][6][7][8][9]11,[13][14][15] In some cases in which therapeutic anticoagulation is temporarily contraindicated, prophylactic dose anticoagulation with titration to a therapeutic dose may be preferable to IVCF placement.…”
