IVC Filter - Vena Cava Filter
Vena Cava Filter
In some cases, a vena cava filter may be inserted into the vena cava (the large vein which returns blood from the body to the heart) of patients who cannot take medication or if blood thinners are not working. The filter is a kind of "clot catcher."
Vena Cava Filter
A vena cava filter is a device, implanted into the inferior vena cava (IVC) vein, which traps clots that might otherwise travel to other parts of the body.
