Clot Filter
A clot filter can be inserted into the body to help prevent any blood clots in the future. This device is often put through the femoral vein in the groin and led up to the inferior vena cava. Your doctor often suggests this option when you cannot take blood-thinning drugs for some reason, such as a recent stroke, surgery, or considerable bleeding in surrounding areas. Make sure to discuss with your doctor carefully as there might be some side effects. [9]
