“…Studies on Greenfield filters suggested that they offered a degree of protection against PE with 3.1% PE recurrence in one study 17 and 5% in another 18 . In another study involving Gunther‐Tulip retrievable filters, the post‐filter insertion PE rate was 0.85 11,19 …”

“…The Recovery G2 was by far the more commonly used one at our institution. Historically, this filter was a replacement for the Recovery filter that was voluntarily withdrawn by Bard in 2005, being associated with filter fracture, filter penetration, filter component remobilization and a tendency to angulate in the vena cava that made retrieval difficult 11 …”

Optional filters have presented both versatility and challenge to the management of VTE in high-risk patients. An underlying concern about the quintessential efficacy of IVCFs lingers on, while the impact of lost follow-ups in young patients is still at large. Class 1 studies on optional filters would add certainty to the use of this generation of filters, be a step forward in relevance from the seminal work of Decousus and garner the willingness needed to engage teamwork and institutional proactiveness against loopholes such as lost follow-ups that can undermine the portrayed benefits of a potentially lifesaving device.
