They discuss how a comprehensive pre-procedural workup relies on cross-sectional imaging to identify access obstacles and to plan for adequate filter placement in cases of variant anatomy. Dr. O’Neal also shares technical tips from the suite, including deployment mechanics, positioning considerations, and strategies for preventing common complications. The conversation concludes with the IR’s ongoing responsibility to ensure a robust, multidisciplinary follow-up system with referring specialties, outlining potential strategies to ensure these devices are safely retrieved in a timely manner when no longer indicated.---BackTable Vascular & Interventional (VI) is the go-to podcast for interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists.Download the free BackTable app to get early access to new episodes, cases, and courses curated by physicians in your specialty.► https://www.backtable.com/app
