Endovascular management of IVC syndrome after IVC filter placement

Approximately 60 000–100 000 Americans die from deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism annually, while the overall estimate of individuals affected is 30 000–600 000. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement has emerged as a break-through endovascular technique which has gained increasing acc...
