[Application of inferior vena cava filters in prevention of peri-operative pulmonary embolism in patients with bone fracture combined with deep venous thrombosis: a report of 572 cases].

Objectives: To evaluate the application of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) in prevention of peri-operative pulmonary embolism in patients with bone fracture combined with deep venous thrombosis (DVT).

Methods: From July 2007 to April 2011, 572 cases of bone fractures consequent with DVT that confirmed by Duplex were deployed IVCF to avoid fatal pulmonary embolism in the para-operative period. There were 318 male and 254 female patients with a mean age of (51±23) years (ranging from 16 to 94 years).
