Abstract
Objective Retrievable inferior vena cava filters (IVCF) have been developed because permanent filters have been associated with an increased risk of recurrent deep venous thrombosis. There is no data on the interactions of IVCF with the inferior vena cava (intrafilter thrombi, insertion through the venous wall) even though this may alter the course after retrieval of the IVCF. Methods A review of 85 consecutive patients undergoing retrieval of IVCF placed at a single center was performed from January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2014. Inferior vena cava filter were examined for presence of intrafilter thrombus at time of retrieval. Filter position and presence of intraluminal thrombus were examined. Patient outcomes, including recurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and death, were captured at 3 month followup. Results Eighty five patients were identified, with intrafilter thrombi found in 69 (81%) patients and venous wall fragments found in 75 (88%) patients. However, their presence was not associated with an increased risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) or death during follow up. Conclusions Intrafilter thrombi and venous wall fragments are frequently found in removed IVCF but are not associated with a worse prognosis. They may not modify the therapeutic management of patients.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent, serious and multifactorial disease, the incidence of which increases with advanced age. In the absence of pathognomonic clinical signs or symptoms, diagnostic management lies in the evaluation of clinical pre-test probability followed by a laboratory or an imaging test. So far, multidetector computed tomography angiography is the diagnostic test of choice to make a positive diagnosis of PE. Anticoagulants at therapeutic dose for at least 3 months constitute the cornerstones of PE therapeutic management. Duration of anticoagulant treatment is modulated according to the presence of transient (surgery, plaster immobilization, bed rest/hospitalization) and chronic/persistent (age, cancer, clinical or biological thrombophilia…) risk factors of PE. Thrombolysis is usually prescribed only for cases of severe PE with arterial hypotension. Arrival of new oral anticoagulants, which have recently been shown to be as effective and as safe as vitamin K antagonist, should simplify and ease ambulatory management of PE and favor more prolonged treatments with anticoagulant for cases of unprovoked PE or PE provoked by a chronic/persistent risk factor.
