Why Remove an IVC Filter?

When the filter is no longer needed, prompt removal is desired to avoid long-term complications. These complications include new clots, blockage of the veins, filter fracture and filter movement (embolization). In the majority of cases the filter is easily removed, however for some patients, standard retrieval methods fail and our expert team can use new endovascular methods to retrieve a variety of IVC filters, regardless of implantation length, which have become embedded within the IVC.
