IVC FILTER PLACEMENT
Preparation: The patient is usually given a sedative to help them relax during the procedure. The area where the catheter will be inserted (usually the groin or neck) is cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic.
Insertion of Catheter: A thin, flexible tube called a catheter is then inserted into a vein in the groin or neck. The catheter is guided through the vein using fluoroscopy, a type of X-ray imaging that allows the doctor to see inside the body in real-time.
Placement of IVC Filter: Once the catheter reaches the inferior vena cava, the collapsed IVC filter is advanced through the catheter and positioned in the desired location within the vein.
Deployment of IVC Filter: The IVC filter is then carefully deployed or expanded to its full size, creating a mesh-like structure that traps blood clots or emboli traveling through the bloodstream, preventing them from reaching the lungs or heart.
Removal of Catheter: Once the IVC filter is securely in place, the catheter is removed, and pressure is applied to the insertion site to prevent bleeding. The incision is typically small and may not require stitches.
