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.
