What Are the Treatment Options for Filter Migration?
Treatment options for filter migration depend on the location and extent of the migration, as well as the patient's overall health. Some options include:
Endovascular retrieval: This minimally invasive procedure involves using a catheter to retrieve the migrated filter. Surgical removal: In cases where endovascular retrieval is not possible, surgical removal may be required. Monitoring: In some cases, healthcare providers may opt to monitor the filter's position and the patient's condition closely, especially if the risks of removal outweigh the benefits.
