Abstract

The paper analyzes indications for, frequency, safety, and efficiency of inferior vena cava (IVC) suprarenal filter implantation. The study based on the Medline database has indicated that an IVC suprarenal filter should be implanted following very strict indications, such as extensive caval thrombosis; renal vein thrombosis with a thrombus in the IVC; some vascular anomalies; a renal tumor process with a tumor thrombus in the IVC; prevention of pulmonary embolism in pregnant women with deep vein thrombosis; and prior to surgery. IVC suprarenal implantation done as clinically indicated is an effective and safe method to prevent pulmonary embolism.
