Resumen: To study long-term adverse events, complications and anatomical modifications after the bearing and retrieval of inferior vena cava filters (IVCF) for pulmonary embolism (PE) prevention.
Material and methods: This retrospective study included 158 IVCF placed from April 2007 to January 2014 with intention of retrieval. All patients were telephonically located and scheduled for IR inquiry. They were asked about symptoms related to recurrent PE, DVT and postphlebitic syndrome. An abdominal CT was performed in patients who gave their consent to evaluate IVC alterations. We recorded any adverse event observed during implantation, dwell time, recovery, 1-year follow-up and the current inquiry.
