Difference between Inferior vena cava filter and Thrombosis

Inferior vena cava filter vs. Thrombosis

An inferior vena cava filter (IVC filter) is a type of vascular filter, a medical device that is implanted by interventional radiologists or vascular surgeons into the inferior vena cava to presumably prevent life-threatening pulmonary emboli (PEs). Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις thrómbōsis "clotting”) is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system.

Similarities between Inferior vena cava filter and Thrombosis

Inferior vena cava filter and Thrombosis have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anticoagulant, Catheter, Deep vein thrombosis, Femoral vein, Inferior vena cava, Pulmonary embolism, Renal vein, Thrombus.

Anticoagulant
