OptEase filters are easier to retrieve but the dwell time is shorter than the Gunter filters. There are more thrombi on the OptEase than on the Gunter at the time of retrieval. OptEase filter has a better infitration capabillity due to its diamond shape. OptEase filters will hjave more IVC occlusions as a complication.
We will isert the two filters blindly. We will follow the patients clinically and if needed we will add imaging exams. We will try to retrieve most filters.
