Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Area of Science:

Vascular Surgery
Interventional Radiology
Medical Device Retrieval

Background:

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are crucial for preventing pulmonary embolism.
Retrieval of deeply embedded or distorted IVC filters presents significant challenges.
Existing retrieval methods may be insufficient for complex filter configurations.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the grasp-and-fold technique for retrieving complex IVC filters.
To assess the feasibility of using endobronchial forceps for filter manipulation.
To determine the rate of successful retrieval and associated adverse events.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 14 patients with embedded or distorted IVC filters.
Application of the grasp-and-fold technique using endobronchial forceps.
Assessment of procedural success and adverse events.

Main Results:

Successful retrieval of all 14 inferior vena cava (IVC) filters.
No severe adverse events were reported; mild and moderate events occurred.
One patient had pre-existing retained filter struts.

Conclusions:

The grasp-and-fold technique is a viable option for complex IVC filter retrieval.
This method offers a solution for filters with inaccessible tips.
Further research in larger cohorts is warranted to confirm safety and efficacy.
