Temporärer Kavafilter: Effektive Prophylaxe von Lungenembolien bei venösen Thrombosen im Bereich der Beckenstrombahn und der Vena cava inferior?

Abstract

Percutaneous placement of inferior vena cava filters is therefore an easy, safe and effective prophylaxis in respect of pulmonary embolism if combined with thrombolytic therapy or therapeutic heparinisation.

In Vitro Evaluation of a Rheolytic Thrombectomy System for Clot Removal from Five Different Temporary Vena Cava Filters

“…Temporary vena cava filters have proved to be an effective prophylaxis for pulmonary embolism, performing as well as or even better than permanent filters [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The concept of retrievable vena cava filters is very appealing, since in a considerable number of the 18% of patients receiving permanent filters prophylactically [8], permanent filter placement might be spared.…”
