Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement to prevent life-threatening pulmonary embolism in patients who cannot take blood thinners.
An IVC filter is a small, cage-like device placed in the inferior vena cava (the large vein carrying blood from the lower body to the heart) to catch blood clots before they can travel to the lungs.
This procedure can be life-saving for patients at high risk for pulmonary embolism who cannot safely take blood thinners.
