“…In 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared retrievable IVCFs for clinical use as permanent implants, although these devices were originally designed for endovascular retrieval (Grewal et al, 2020). This resulted in an exponential increase in the use of retrievable IVCFs but subsequently caused low retrieval rates of only 8.5%, with patients being lost to follow-up (Grewal et al, 2020;Pillai et al, 2021). Non-retrieval of IVCF may cause further complications, which include vessel perforation, thrombophlebitis, and thrombosis (Perez, Jacobsen, et al, 2021;PREPIC, 2005).…”
