Abstract
A series of 80 patients undergoing placement of a vena caval filter was analyzed for technical difficulties and complications. No filter embolization occurred. Recurrent emboli were seen in 3%. Phlebitis developed in 14%. The technique appears safe if meticulously performed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
