What are the retrieval and complication rates of inferior vena cava filter insertion in patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis?
IVC filter insertion in patients with lower extremity DVT has a high retrieval success rate (91.9%) and an acceptable delayed complication rate (5.0%), though longer indwelling time increases retrieval failure risk.
Park et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (n=160). Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter insertion was evaluated on Filter retrieval success rate and complication rate. Inferior vena cava filter insertion in patients with deep vein thrombosis achieved a 91.9% retrieval success rate and had a 5.0% delayed complication rate.
