Real-World Impact: IVC Filter Management Experience at Mount Sinai

Managing incidental IVC filters presents unique challenges, particularly when filters are placed in other institutions and patients are unaware they have them. In a recent webinar, Jenanan Vairavamurthy, MD, Interventional Radiologist and Assistant Professor of Radiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, explained how AI tools are helping to identify these cases more effectively.

Using Aidoc’s IVC filter management solution, Mount Sinai captured 400 incidental filter mentions in four months, identifying 30-50% of patients as eligible for filter removal. He highlighted a recent case where a patient — unaware that she had a filter placed over two decades ago — came to Sinai after experiencing abdominal pain. The IVC filter was flagged by the solution and, after discussing treatment options, clinicians were able to safely remove it for her.Watch Dr. Vairavamurthy explain how this solution “is helping a lot of patients” in the clip below, and explore the full on-demand webinar, “AI and the Future of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Care,” for more insights.
