Transjugular insertion of the Greenfield filter is challenging in small females due to small veins. The transfemoral route is recommended for these patients when feasible for safer filter placement.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular surgery
  • Interventional radiology

Background:

  • Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filters are crucial for preventing pulmonary embolism.
  • Transjugular and transfemoral approaches are primary methods for IVC filter placement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of Greenfield filter insertion in patients with challenging venous anatomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of Greenfield filter placements.
  • Comparison of transjugular versus transfemoral routes based on patient demographics and vein size.

Main Results:

  • Transjugular insertion was problematic in short, small females with small veins.
  • The transfemoral route was associated with fewer technical difficulties in this patient subgroup.

Conclusions:

  • The transfemoral approach is preferable for Greenfield filter placement in short, small females with small veins.
  • Careful patient selection and route planning are essential for successful IVC filter deployment.
