Santagata Davide: Timely Removal of Retrievable IVC Filters May Reduce VTE Recurrence and Mortality

Santagata Davide, Resident in Internal Medicine at University of Insubria, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis (RPTH), adding:

“Pleased to share our new publication in Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis:

‘Outcomes in Venous Thromboembolism with Retained versus Removed Inferior Vena Cava Filters: An Analysis from the RIETE Registry.’

In this RIETE Registry analysis of 1,186 patients with VTE receiving retrievable IVC filters, filter retention was associated with worse outcomes compared with filter removal.

Key findings:

  • Higher VTE recurrence with retained filters: 7.5 percent versus 1.8 percent
  • Recurrences were mainly driven by DVT.
  • Filter removal was associated with lower adjusted risk of VTE recurrence
  • All-cause mortality was higher in patients with retained filters: 17.0 percent versus 6.3 percent
  • Major bleeding remained infrequent and was not significantly different between groups.

Clinical message: retrievable IVC filters require structured follow-up and timely removal whenever clinically feasible.

Grateful to Omri Cohen, Manuel Monreal, the RIETE investigators, and all co-authors for the collaboration.

The accompanying image was AI-generated – with supervision – to present the study on LinkedIn.”
