May support caution with retrievable filters for uncertain retrieval; leaves open optimal selection pending prospective trials.
A personalized approach to selecting between permanent and retrievable IVC filters is recommended to minimize long-term device-related complications and optimize resource utilization.
Ryu et al. (2016) conducted a review in Thromboembolic prophylaxis. Retrievable inferior vena cava filters vs. Permanent inferior vena cava filters was evaluated. Retrievable inferior vena cava filters may be associated with higher long-term device-related complications compared with permanent filters, emphasizing the need for personalized device selection.
