Best Heart Specialist in installing IVC filter

The inferior vena cava is the largest vein in our body. It's in charge of transporting blood from our legs to heart and lungs.

Swelling, redness, and pain occur when a blood clot forms in a vein beneath the heart, preventing normal blood flow. Blood thinners are prescribed to treat blood clots, however some people may be unable to obtain them.

In such cases, an IVC filter is used. It is a tiny device that is implanted in the inferior vena cava to prevent blood clots from entering into the lungs.

Dr Pranoy is a highly experienced specialist in placing IVC filters in the patient's body. Because of his proficiency and expertise, the entire procedure is easy and takes a little more than 30 mins to finish.

He will make a tiny incision in your neck area, to insert an IVC filter in the inferior vena cava. To monitor the position of the filter, he will be using real time fluoroscopy. He usually recommends this procedure to people who are suffering from:

Deep vein thrombosis

Pulmonary embolism

Trauma

Immobilization

Dr Pranoy, known for his precise treatments and focused attention to cases will recommend a follow-up 4-6 weeks after the procedure. He will evaluate your condition to see if the IVC filter is to be removed or not.
