What are IVC Filters?
IVC filters are small, cage-like devices that are inserted into the inferior vena cava to capture blood clots and prevent them from reaching the lungs. The inferior vena cava is the main vessel returning blood from the lower half of the body to the heart. IVC filters are frequently placed in patients at risk for Pulmonary Embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) when anticoagulant therapy cannot be used or is ineffective.
