NOTE

Use Filters Wisely: Clear Indications Matter

Filters can prevent fatal pulmonary embolism, but they also increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis by altering blood flow in the inferior vena cava. Their use should be limited to clear indications, such as patients with acute clots who cannot be anticoagulated due to active bleeding or urgent surgery needs. Filters are not recommended for distal DVTs, and it is crucial to have a retrieval plan in place. Retrievable filters should be removed after use, but retrieval rates are low in facilities without active programs, highlighting the need for better management of filter interventions.
