Zusammenfassung

Zur Verhinderung einer Lungenembolie bei tiefer Venenthrombose gilt die Antikoagulation als Verfahren der Wahl. Cava-Filter werden insbesondere in den USA vermehrt bei multiplen Indikationen eingesetzt. Die Evidenz, die einen solchen Einsatz rechtfertigen würde, ist leider gering. In dieser Übersicht wird die aktuelle Literatur bezüglich der möglichen Indikationen dargestellt.

Abstract

In preventing a pulmonary embolus in cases with deep venous thrombosis, anticoagulation is the method of choice. Vena cava filters are increasingly implanted especially in the USA for a wide variety of indications. The evidence backing such applications is unfortunately low. This review tries to illustrate the current literature concerning possible indications.
