Q

Balance between self-centering and leg penetration

A

Self-centering requires more hooks

more hooks results in higher chance of leg penetration or incorporation

Q

Evidence based guidelines for IVC insertion

CHEST guidelines

A

1) VTE with contraindication to AC
2) VTE with complications of AC
3) recurrent PE despite therapeutic AC
4) VTE with inability to achieve AC therapeutic level

23
Q

Relative indications for IVC insertion without hard evidence

A 
1) poor compliance of AC
2 free floating iliocaval thrombus
3) RCC with renal vein extension
4) thrombolysis/thrombectomy
5) VTE with limited cardiopulm reserve
6) VTE with high risk of AC complication
7) recurrent PE with pulm HTN
8) VTE in cancer, burn, pregnancy
9) VTE prophylaxis in high risk patients
24
Q

Contraindication to IVC filter

A

1) chronically occluded VC
2) VC anomalies
3) inability to access VC
4) VC compression
5) no location for placement

25
Q

VTE prophylaxis in high risk patients that may need IVC

A

1) high risk medical patient
2) high risk trauma patient
3) high risk bleeding patient

26
Q

Complication with IVC filter for PE

A

2-5%

fatal 0.7%

27
Q

Mortality from insertion of IVC filter

28
Q

Filter insertion complications

A

1) access site thrombosis 2-28%
2) migration 3-69%
3) VC penetration 9-24%
4) VC obstruction 6-30%
5) venous insufficiency 5-59%
6) filter fracture 1%
7) guide wire entrapment 1%

29
Q

PREPIC prevention of recurrent PE by VC interruption

A

1) 400 patients with proximal DVT
2) heparin vs enox
3) +/- filter
4) lower PE with filter 12 days
5) higher DVT with filter 2 years
6) no difference in PTS

30
Q

PREPIC-2 trial

A

1) hospitalized patients with acute PE
2) retrievable filter + AC vs AC alone
3) no difference in recurrent PE

31
Q

Retrieval time for Gunther Tulip
OptEase
Celect

A

Gunther tulip 20 days
OptEAse 14 days
Celect 52 weeks

32
Q

Rate of success filter retrieval at 1 3 and 12 months

A

1 month 99%
3 months 94%
12 months 37%

33
Q

Indication for using retrievable filters

A

1) no indication for permanent filter
2) risk of PE low
3) return to high risk VTE not anticipated
4) life expectancy long enough to see benefit of removal
5) filter can be removed safely

34
Q

IVC filter placement in pregnant patient special considerations

A

Place in suprarenal IVC due to compression in third trimester
also IJ approach safer

35
Q

Segments of the IVC anatomy

A

1) hepatic
2) suprarenal
3) renal
4) infrarenal

36
Q

Origin of the IVC level

A

Confluence of iliac veins at L4, L5

37
Q

Renal veins drain into IVC at this level

38
Q

Which renal vein is more cephalic

A

Left renal

39
Q

Left gonadal vein drains into

A

Left renal vein

40
Q

Right gonadal vein drains into

A

Right renal vein or IVC

41
Q

IVC in relation to pancreas

A

posterior to head of pancreas and posterior to liver

42
Q

Where do the hepatic veins join IVC

A

Join at the infrahepatic VC before going under right crus

43
Q

Hepatic veins names

A

1) left
2) middle
3) right
4) caudate

44
Q

IVC anomalies

A

1) Renal vein anomalies 5-7% (retroaortic or circumaortic left renal vein, multiple renal veins)
2) IVC transposition 0.2-0.5%; left IVC drains to left renal vein then crosses to right IVC
3) duplication IVC: 0.2-0.3%; left usually smaller and joins left renal vein to drain into right IVC
4) IVC agenesis: renal segment of IVC drain into azygos system and right atrium via SVC

45
Q

IVC agenesis associated with

A

1) Dextrocardia
2) atrial septal defect
3) pulmonary artery stenosis
4) visceral anomalies

46
Q

IVC agenesis embryology failure

A

Right subcardinal vein fail to anastomose with hepatic sinusoid

47
Q

Imaging modality to guide IVC filter placement

A

1) venography
2) IVUS
3) transabdominal US

48
Q

Additional techniques to free up IVC attachments in retrieval

A

1) sheathing
2) balloon dislodgment
3) snare
4) bronchoscopic forceps

49
Q

Risk of PE with UEDVT

50
Q

Special considerations for SVC filter insertion

A

1) have to flip the jug/ij device use

2) only IVC filters available for use

51
Q

Rate of duplicated SVC

52
Q

Cut off size of SVC for filter insertion

53
Q

Indication for SVC filter insertion

A

1) UEDVT

2) anticoagulation not possible
