Fourteen patients have required vena caval interruption in a period of 12 years at St Thomas' Hospital. Half of these patients had an underlying malignancy. None of these patients have had clinical or lung scan evidence of recurrent emboli. There were no deaths related to filter insertion and no patient died of a pulmonary embolism. Vena caval interruption is a procedure that is rarely necessary but may be valuable in carefully selected patients.
在12年的时间里,圣托马斯医院有14名患者需要进行腔静脉阻断术。这些患者中有一半患有潜在的恶性肿瘤。这些患者均没有临床或肺部扫描证据表明存在复发性栓子。没有与滤器植入相关的死亡病例,也没有患者死于肺栓塞。腔静脉阻断术是一种很少需要但在精心挑选的患者中可能有价值的手术。
