Скачать или смотреть Stopping Deadly Blood Clots IVC Filters Explained by Dr. Deepak Nair

🩺 Whiteboard Wednesday with Dr. Deepak Nair

Topic: Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filters — A Safety Net for Dangerous Blood Clots

When blood thinners aren’t an option — due to major surgery, bleeding risks, or other health concerns — an IVC filter can be a lifesaver.

💡 How it works:

Sits in your vena cava (the body’s largest vein)

Catches large clots before they reach your lungs

Used for patients at high risk who can’t take blood thinners temporarily

✅ Good to Know:

Quick, low-risk procedure (less than 1% complication rate)

Most are retrievable — we remove them once they’re no longer needed

If removal isn’t possible, it becomes a permanent safeguard

💬 Dr. Nair: "We only put these in when necessary, working closely with your care team to keep you safe during high-risk times."
