There are risks associated with the use of IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) Filters which include but are not limited to: incorrect release or placement of the Filter, movement or migration of the Filter, formation of clots on the Filter which could result in complete blockage of blood flow through the vena cava, hematoma (bruise) or bleeding at the insertion site, infection, failure of the Filter to attach itself securely and potential migration of the Filter to the heart or lungs, perforation of the vena cava, adjacent blood vessels or organ by one or more hooks, pulmonary embolism due to introducer catheter manipulation leading to dislodgement of clot during Filter placement, air embolism during Filter insertion, insertion site thrombosis, and death due to movement of clots to the heart or lungs.

Be sure to talk with your doctor so that you thoroughly understand all of the risks and benefits associated with treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis.
