Techniques for Retrieval of Permanent Inferior Vena Cava Filters

Trouble viewing this article?

In this article, we will present our approach to the retrieval of Greenfield, TrapEase, and Simon Nitinol filters. For each device, we will provide a brief history of the device’s development and implementation into clinical practice; this will be followed by a description of our procedural approach, which we will illustrate with a case and images from our practice. We will alsodiscuss techniques described in the literature for the retrieval of VenaTech devices.
