The prevalence of venous thromboembolic disease (VTED) is between 0.05% and 0.1% whereas its incidence is approximately 0.1%. Out of 100 patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), 5 will develop clinically serious pulmonary embolism (PE), one of which will be fatal. It is well known from the literature that surgical interventions carried out without antithrombotic prophylaxis have a 30% incidence of DVT, which can be halved with adequate prophylaxis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immediate, middle- and long-term complications of caval filters by identifying any of the problems connected with or independent of the presence of the filter, also in relation to international literature data.
