PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of computed tomography (CT)-guided placement of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters in a swine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five domestic pigs (60-70 kg) underwent transfemoral and transjugular IVC filter placement under real-time CT fluoroscopic guidance. Filter position was confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT and digital subtraction angiography. Filter tilt, distance to target position, and fluoroscopy time were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 10 filters were successfully implanted (five via transfemoral approach, five via transjugular approach) without complications. The mean distance to the target position was 0.3 cm ± 0.2. Mean filter tilt was 3.2° ± 2.3 (range, 0°-7°), without differences between deployment techniques (P = .8486). Average fluoroscopy time was 25.9 s ± 6.9 per procedure. CONCLUSIONS: CT fluoroscopy-guided placement of IVC filters is safely feasible. Use of this technique may avoid the need to move critically ill patients. |
