Hiten Patel: How an IVC Filter Helps Prevent Pulmonary Embolism
Hiten Patel, Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon at Aadicura, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A small filter that makes a life-saving difference.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when blood clots form in the deep veins of your legs. If these clots break loose and travel to the lungs, they can cause a severe condition called Pulmonary Embolism (PE).
While blood thinners are the standard treatment, many patients cannot take them due to bleeding risks or other health conditions.
How an IVC Filter Helps:
- Catches Clots: Placed in the Inferior Vena Cava (the main vein returning blood to the heart), it traps clots while letting blood flow normally.
- Pinhole Procedure: Placed via catheter guidance no large incisions or long hospital stays.
- Temporary or Permanent: Can be retrieved once the clot risk passes.
Expert vascular care ensures your circulatory system remains protected with maximum precision and minimal downtime.
Protect your lungs from severe blood clots today.”
