Inferior Vena Cava filter placement and venous stenting are procedures used to deal with problems in a main vein in the belly. An IVC filter might be put in to stop blood clots from moving from the legs to the lungs in some people who can't take blood thinners. Venous stenting might be used if the IVC or other big veins are very narrow or blocked helping blood flow again and making symptoms, like swelling, pain or extra fluid go away.

Prof. Dr. Zaheer Sherazi offers care in Interventional Radiology for people who need to check and treat problems in their veins. With the help of the images and tools that go into the body the problem veins can be looked at closely and the best treatment chosen based on what the person needs. IVC filter placement and venous stenting give small treatments for the right patients with the plan made to help blood move better and stop big problems from happening.
