what is the pathogenesis of pagets disease
hypermetabolic bone that breaks down and repairs bone over and over, making it prone to breaks
absolute and relative indications for an IVC filter
absolute: presence of DVT or PE, contraindication to coags, recurrent PE despite coags, anticoagulation related complications
relative: free floating thrombus, prophylaxis, poor compliance with anticoagulation
