Popis: Thrombosis of the access site and occlusion of the inferior vena cava after placement of an inferior vena caval filter are known complications of caval interruption. 30 patients were evaluated with colour-coded Doppler sonography 4 to 66 months (average 2.5 years) after percutaneous placement of either a Gunther filter, a Bird's Nest filter or a Simon-Nitinol filter. One right internal jugular vein had post-thrombotic alterations. One inferior vena cava was found to be occluded 15 months after Simon-Nitinol filter placement. The long-term occlusion rates of access site and inferior vena cava after percutaneous filter introduction are low. These two factors need not be considered if implantation of a caval filter is contemplated.
