The IVC filter is a temporary or permanent intravascular device that traps migrating thrombi from their origin in the pelvis or a lower limb into the pulmonary vasculature, thereby preventing significant APE. The current and longstanding indications for placing an IVC filter are in patients with documented lower extremity DVT and acute APE who also have absolute contraindications to anticoagulation or have experienced an acute, hemodynamically unstable APE requiring ventilatory and vasoactive support, with limited cardiovascular reserve. Updated guidelines have led to a significant rise in IVC filter placements for specific therapeutic indications of venous thromboembolism compared to prophylactic use. Meta-analyses show that IVC filter placement is associated with a lower risk of subsequent APE but an increased risk of DVT. However, there appears to be no significant reduction in APE-related mortality and no change in all-cause mortality. Early complications after IVC filter placement typically relate to procedural issues and include bleeding or infection at the venous access site, development of arteriovenous fistulas, accidental arterial puncture, and post-procedural access site hematoma or thrombosis. Additional early complications include IVC filter malposition, incomplete expansion, IVC penetration, or guidewire entrapment. Delayed complications may involve DVT below the filter, IVC occlusion due to the filter, IVC filter migration, fracture of one of the IVC filter components, IVC rupture, or IVC thrombosis. Retrieval of IVC filters by simple, advanced, or open techniques should be considered after weighing the risk-to-benefit for the individual patient. Deployment of the IVC filter remains an important component of interventional APE management within the narrow indications currently proposed. Current guidance recommends that an untethered temporary IVC filter should be placed and retrieved once the contraindication to anticoagulation is resolved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14196810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]],"date-time":"2025-09-26T10:39:37Z","timestamp":1758883177000},"page":"6810","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["IVC Filters in Integrated Acute Pulmonary Embolism Management\u2014A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3917-2358","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joseph P.","family":"Hart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Quality, Effectiveness, and Outcomes in Cardiovascular Diseases, Houston, TX 77054, USA"},{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 Watertown Plank Rd., Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7789-512X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mark G.","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Quality, Effectiveness, and Outcomes in Cardiovascular Diseases, Houston, TX 77054, USA"},{"name":"Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Ascension Health, Waco, TX 76710, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1037","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra072753","article-title":"Acute pulmonary embolism","volume":"358","author":"Tapson","year":"2008","journal-title":"N.
