    Abstract:
    We developed a new inferior vena caval filter to prevent pulmonary embolism for a patient with IVC thrombus. This filter made by covering top half of Dotter Intravascular Retriever catheter with Dacron mesh sheet, was placed in IVC through a 10 F sheath from right jugular vein. In one case, after anticoagulant therapy and thrombectomy using balloon catheter, many free-floating thrombus were trapped in this filter and were taken out from the IVC. This filter was useful for preventing pulmonary embolism when removing thrombus in IVC, iliac and lower extremity veins. We propose to call this device "Hino's filter".
