What is the maximum pressure typically used during IVC filter injections?

The maximum pressure typically used during IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) filter injections is 750 psi. This pressure level is crucial for ensuring effective deployment of the filter within the vena cava. At 750 psi, the delivery system can reliably deploy the device while minimizing the risk of complications such as filter migration or damage to the vessel wall.

Using this specific pressure helps to create sufficient force to propel the filter through the delivery system and into the correct position in the vessel. Higher pressures than this could risk complications, including perforation of the inferior vena cava or other vascular structures, which can lead to severe patient outcomes.

Understanding the pressure parameters is essential for practitioners in interventional radiology, as it ensures the safety and effectiveness of the procedure, allowing for optimal placement of the IVC filter in patients who require them to prevent pulmonary embolism or manage other venous issues.
