Number of Filters Inserted is Increasing

  • Filter placement has increased linearly with PE detection by CT
  • Filter placement has increased 7-fold from 2003 to 2006

compared to 1985-2003 (p<0.0001) in patients without DVT or PE (the so-called prophylactic indication)

  • Approximately 224,700 IVC filters were projected to be

deployed in 2012, with over half the indications being “prophylactic”

Filters: Adverse Outcomes

  • Confounding variables

– Permanent versus temporary – Different types of devices

  • Major events

– IVC thrombosis – Migration – Perforation – Fracture

IVC Thrombosis

  • Often radiographic, but may be associated with

disabling post-phlebitic syndrome

Questions

  • 1. Has the utilization of IVC filters increased since

the advent of the retrievable device? YES

  • 2. Do filters prevent pulmonary emboli? YES
  • 3. Do filters improve patient outcomes? YES
  • 1. Do filters cause adverse outcomes? YES

IVC Filters: Conclusions

  • Filters are effective in preventing PE

– Most common indication for placement is contraindication to anti-coagulation – Prophylactic insertion prior to bariatric surgery, neurosurgery, and trauma???

  • Complications can be significant
  • The main problem with removable filters is that

they are not actually removed to diminish long- term complications
