Ashutosh Kumar Pandey: IVC Filters Are Not a ‘Treatment’ for DVT
Ashutosh Kumar Pandey, Chief Consultant and Head vascular and endovascular surgery at Tender Palm Super Speciality Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“IVC filters are not a substitute for anticoagulation and not a ‘treatment’ for DVT.
Every unnecessary filter adds long-term risk:
- Filter thrombosis
- IVC occlusion
- Difficult retrieval
- Increased recurrent DVT burden
As vascular specialists, we need to normalize better counselling – not fear-based procedures.
The hardest part is often explaining to patients and families that ‘doing more’ is not always ‘doing better.’
But that conversation matters.
Use when indicated.
Retrieve when possible.
Counsel every patient.”
