Impact of Vena Cava Filters on In-hospital Case Fatality Rate from Pulmonary Embolism Paul D. Stein, MD, Fadi Matta, MD, Daniel C. Keyes, MD, Gary L. Willyerd, DO The American Journal of Medicine Volume 125, Issue 5, Pages 478-484 (May 2012) DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2011.05.025 Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 In-hospital all-cause case fatality rate in patients with pulmonary embolism who received a vena cava filter and those who did not. Patients are shown according to whether they were stable or unstable, and whether they received thrombolytic (lytic) therapy. Case fatality rate was lower with a vena cava filter in each group (P<.0001). PE=pulmonary embolism; VC = vena cava.
