Implantation of inferior vena cava filters under the ultrasound guidance (a literature review)
In critically ill patients, cases of non-transportable condition, multiple trauma, skeletal immobilization, intolerance for contrast agents, kidney failure, severe overweight and pregnancy, implantation of inferior vena cava filters in the angiography operating room after the contrast cavography is a challenge. The purpose of the review is to highlight the possibility of installing inferior vena cava filters using alternative imaging techniques during transabdominal duplex scanning and intravascular ultrasound.
