The Tempofilter II is a widely used temporary vena cava filter. Its unique design, which includes a long tethering catheter with a subcutaneous anchor, facilitates the deployment and retrieval of the device. Despite this, the Tempofilter II has been used only in the inferior vena cava of patients with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis. In this article, we present a case of superior vena cava filtering using the Tempofilter II in patients with upper extremity deep venous thrombosis.
Tempofilter II 是一种广泛使用的临时腔静脉滤器。它独特的设计包括带有皮下锚定的长系绳导管,便于设备的部署和取出。尽管如此,Tempofilter II 仅在下肢深静脉血栓形成的患者的下腔静脉中使用。在本文中,我们介绍了一例使用 Tempofilter II 在上肢深静脉血栓形成的患者中进行上腔静脉滤过的病例。
