Venous thromboembolism is an entity that ranges from deep vein thrombosis to pulmonary embolism, both are highly prevalent diseases in our environment and potentially fatal. The intention of this review is to compile information regarding the indications, contraindications, complications and comparison of different therapeutic methods in order to create an algorithm. An exhaustive review was performed with the available literature, using the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Cochrane databases from 2004 to 2021. The search criteria were formulated to identify reports related to inferior vena cava filters. Venous thrombosis manifested as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is a highly prevalent disease in our setting with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, different therapeutic options have been presented to address this pathology, in this review we focus on the developments regarding the use of vena cava filters. Reviewing the indications for the placement of a vena cava filter, we find absolute indications such as a contraindication to anticoagulation and high risk of massive pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary thromboembolism is a disease with high prevalence and mortality, we have highly effective and novel treatments such as the vena cava filter, patients should be selected carefully always taking into account the absolute and relative indications.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas in the intensive care unit (ICU). Immobility, inflammatory states, and trauma uniquely predispose surgical ICU patients to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Concurrently, the risks of perioperative and traumatic bleeding complicate management of VTE, with anticoagulation contraindicated in many scenarios. This review surveys the latest evidence in the diagnosis and management of VTE among critically ill surgical patients. It discusses evidence-based guidelines regarding diagnostic imaging, anticoagulation, prophylaxis, inferior vena cava filters, non–vitamin K oral anticoagulants, and surgical and catheter-based therapies. The review also examines the special challenges encountered when treating multisystem trauma patients.  Key words: anticoagulation therapy, deep vein thrombosis, pharmacoprophylaxis, pulmonary embolism, venous thromboembolism

Acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of iliofemoral segment is one of the most dreaded presentations of venous thromboembolism, as it can not only compromise the function of the extremity but may also result in pulmonary embolism and even death. There are many causes for acute iliofemoral DVT, including underdiagnosed May-Thurner syndrome, hypercoagulable syndrome, and external compression on iliocaval segment. The available treatment depends on the acuity of the symptoms. Acute iliofemoral DVT can be treated with medical anticoagulation, pharmacomechanical therapy, including thrombolysis or surgical thrombectomy. Chronic iliofemoral occlusion may be treated with recanalization of the occluded segments with angioplasty stenting. This review contains 4 Figures, 4 Tables and 63 references Key Words: acute, angioplasty, deep venous thrombosis, iliofemoral, inferior vena cava, pharmacomechanical therapy, occlusion, stent
