ABSTRACT
Objective To assess temporary filter in the inferior vena cava (IVC) for trapping thrombus and preventing pulmonary embolism in patients with deep vein thrombosis. Methods In 58 cases of deep vein thrombus in single lower extremity, Antheor temporary filter (ATF) was introduced into IVC prior to anticoagulation and/or vascular intraluminal procedures. Results All IVC filters were successfully introduced. No symptomatic pulmonary embolism was documented. ATF was removed after a mean of 12.0?2.0 days. Thrombus was trapped in 46 cases (79.3%). Thrombus more than 1 cm in size was trapped in 2 cases. Conclusion Temporary filter was safe and effective in prevention of pulmonary embolism.
