IVC Filter Placement Procedure

The placement of an Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filter is a minimally invasive procedure typically performed to prevent pulmonary embolism by capturing blood clots before they can reach the lungs. Here's a step-by-step outline of how the procedure is carried out:

  1. Preparation:

    • The patient is given a local anesthetic to numb the area where the catheter will be inserted.
    • The patient might also be sedated to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
  2. Incision and Catheter Insertion:

    • A small incision is made in a vein, typically in the groin (femoral vein) or neck (jugular vein).
    • A thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted through the incision into the vein.
  3. Guiding the Catheter:

    • Using fluoroscopy (a type of X-ray imaging), the catheter is carefully guided through the vein until it reaches the inferior vena cava (IVC), the large vein that carries blood from the lower body to the heart.
  4. Placement of the IVC Filter:

    • The IVC filter, which is initially in a collapsed state, is passed through the catheter.
    • Once the catheter is in position within the IVC, the filter is released.
    • The filter expands and attaches itself to the walls of the IVC.
  5. Final Steps:

    • The catheter is carefully removed.
    • The incision site is cleaned and bandaged.
    • The patient is monitored for a short period to ensure there are no immediate complications.
