The inferior vena cava is the main vein in our body, transporting blood from our legs to our lungs and heart. When a blood clot forms in a vein below the heart, it obstructs normal blood flow, causing swelling, redness, and discomfort.

Although blood thinners are the most common treatment, some patients are unable to receive them.

In these cases, an IVC filter is used to prevent blood clots from travelling to the lungs. This involves inserting a small device into the inferior vena cava.

Dr Vinod Kumar K, DM ( CARDIOLOGY), the best interventional cardiologist in Nagasandra is a highly skilled specialist in implanting IVC filters, and the entire process typically takes just over 30 minutes due to his expertise.

To place the IVC filter, Dr Vinod makes a small incision in your neck area and uses real-time fluoroscopy to monitor the filter's location. He may advise against the procedure if you have the following conditions:

• Deep vein thrombosis
• Pulmonary embolism
• Trauma
• Immobilisation

At Prakriya Hospitals, Dr. Vinod, the best cardiology doctor in Nagasandra is renowned for his precise treatments and tailored care, and he recommends a follow-up appointment 4-6 weeks after the procedure to assess your health and determine if the IVC filter needs to be removed.
