Zusammenfassung:[...]the study also demonstrated that IVC filter-treated patients from this registry experienced fewer PE-related deaths than clinically similar patients who underwent anticoagulation therapy, which suggests that filters offer clinical benefits that are discrete from those conferred by anticoagulation. (5) that IVC filter placement was associated with lower in-hospital mortality in pharmacologically treated patients with severe or unstable pulmonary emboli.
