Are too many inferior vena cava filters used? Controversial evidences in different clinical settings: a narrative review
No full textThe use of inferior vena cava filters to prevent pulmonary embolism is increasing mainly because of indications that appear to be unclearly codified and recommended. The evidence supporting this approach is often heterogeneous, and mainly based on observational studies and consensus opinions, while the insertion of an IVC filter exposes patients to the risk of complications and increases health care costs. Thus, several proposed indications for an IVC filter placement remain controversial. We attempt to review the proof on the efficacy and safety of IVC filters in several “special” clinical settings, and assess the robustness of the available evidence for any specific indication to place an IVC filter
