Abstract

The recent explosion of interest in morbid obesity surgery and its associated complications (deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) has inadvertently captured the attention of many vascular specialists. This article will focus on the indications and techniques used at Jack D. Weiler Hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine for inferior vena cava filter placement prior to open and laparoscopic bariatric surgical procedures.
