Predictors of Attempted Inferior Vena Cava Filters Retrieval.

The InferiorVena Cava (IVC) with filters has been recommended when there is a contraindication or a failure of anticoagulation. Due to the side effects related to the filters, it is recommended to remove them as soon as possible. It's a retrospective study in a French hospital to evaluate the retrieval rate and predictors of filter removal.

All the data of consecutive patients who had a retrievable InferiorVena Cava Filter (IVCF) inserted in the investigator center between April 2012 and November 2019 are included.

Intervention / Treatment

Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava Filters (IVCF); The population study includes patients with a Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava Filters (IVCF) inserted between April 2012 and November 2019. Follow up data is collected up to July 2020.

Other: Data collection; Collect in medical records : Filter's retrieval rate; Complications of vena cava filters; Predictive factors of attempted inferior vena cava filters retrieval: age, the distance between the patient's home and the hospital, the indication or not given by the therapeutic medicine department, patients referred by external structures, patients whose filter was installed during the medical on-call period, the absence of a written request for filter placement, the presence of active neoplasia at the time of filter placement, a peri-surgical context.
