Deep venous thrombosis from the pelvis or lower extremities has significant morbidity, and subsequent pulmonary embolism has a high mortality rate. Immediate anticoagulation in patients with deep venous thrombosis is crucial in preventing this lethal complication. However, in patients with contraindications for or failure of anticoagulation, inferior vena cava filters reduce mortality by decreasing the incidence of pulmonary embolism.
In this review, we discuss the various pathologic abnormalities related to inferior vena cava filters, as seen on MDCT images.
来自骨盆或下肢的深静脉血栓形成具有显著的发病率,随后发生的肺栓塞具有很高的死亡率。在深静脉血栓形成的患者中,立即进行抗凝治疗对于预防这种致命并发症至关重要。然而,对于存在抗凝禁忌或抗凝失败的患者,下腔静脉滤器通过降低肺栓塞的发生率来降低死亡率。
在本综述中,我们讨论了 MDCT 图像上所见的与下腔静脉滤器相关的各种病理异常。
