Feasibility study of hand-carried ultrasound-guided retrievable inferior vena cava filter placement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the development of ultrasonic diagnostic techniques in recent years, ultrasound-guided placement of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters has been widely used in clinics, and satisfactory results have been achieved. Our study aims to observe the accuracy of hand-carried ultrasound-guided retrievable vena cava filter placement, evaluate the feasibility and safety of this new method, and provide a scientific and effective interventional method and clinical data to prevent acute pulmonary embolism (PE) after battle injury of limbs.

Methods

Two hundred patients with post-traumatic thrombosis of the extremities were enrolled. The renal vein was located under the guidance of hand-carried ultrasound. The retrievable filter was fixed 1-2 cm below the opening of the renal
