Luminal Changes Seen in the IVC and Iliac Veins, as Well as Signs Demonstrated in a Cohort of Patients With IVC Filter Placement

This study aimed to analyze the luminal changes in iliocaval veins and their effects on development of signs symptoms chronic venous disease manifesting from inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement. In this retrospective observational study, patients with an IVC placed subsequent were included. All had a computerized tomography (CT) scan, or without ultrasound, those who underwent intervention for obstruction also venography intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The diameter iliac was measured near wall far wall. diameters that less than 12 mm considered be retractions. Signs obtained patient charts reported according highest CEAP class. Overall, 76 included whom 66 occlusion veins. Contraindication anticoagulation primary reason placement (n = 46). Luminal observed all patients. A total 58 presented post-thrombotic both There four reduction no filling defects changes. Average vein 8.3 ± 1.4 4.6 mm, respectively. Patients most frequently extremity swelling 56), but other such as ulceration 9) skin damage 5) observed. Permanent result placement, commonly disease. Together known complications, these observations warrant timely retrieval.
