Summary

The provider inserts a catheter in a vein at the patient’s groin level or the neck and maneuvers the catheter to place a filter device in the inferior vena cava, or the IVC. He visualizes the blood vessels through imaging guidance. The provider performs this procedure in patients to prevent blood clots from the lower limbs from travelling up to the heart and lungs.
