Flow chart of study population. From March 2009 to October 2010, 250 consecutive patients were identified to receive an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement at our institution. Of these patients, 26 were deceased and were therefore excluded from our follow-up analysis. Of the remaining 224 patients, 136 patients received outpatient clinical follow-up, and 88 patients did not. Of the patients who received follow-up, 126 patients had a filter retrieval, and 10 did not.
