  • Title: Insertion of the inferior vena cava filter followed by iliofemoral venous thrombectomy for ischemic venous thrombosis.
    Author: Olearchyk AS.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 1987 Apr; 5(4):645-7. PubMed ID: 3560358.
    Abstract:
    An elderly man, with ischemic venous thrombosis of the left lower extremity, underwent insertion of the inferior vena cava filter through the right internal jugular vein, followed by left iliofemoral venous thrombectomy with the Fogarty balloon catheter, both with fluoroscopic guidance. The inferior vena cava filter was inserted before venous thrombectomy to prevent pulmonary embolism from dislodged clots during the latter procedure.
