What is IVC Filter?

IVC filters are small devices that can help prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs. This video explains what IVC filters are, how they work, and who should consider getting one.

An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a small device that can stop blood clots from going up into the lungs. The inferior vena cava is a large vein in the middle of your body. The device is put in during a short surgery.

IVC filters are used to prevent pulmonary embolism, which is a blood clot that travels to the lungs and blocks blood flow. This can be a life-threatening condition.

IVC filters are typically used for people who cannot take blood thinners or who have a high risk of developing blood clots.
