Fig 2 Hazard curves for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) after insertion of a retrievable IVC stratified by time to initiate pharmacological thromboprophylaxis (7 days or less, 8–14 days, 15–21 days, and >21 days), after adjustment for ISS, tibial/fibular fractures, and femoral fractures. Cumulative hazard on the Y-axis is equivalent to negative log of the probability of not experiencing new VTE.

Fig 3 Hazard of having a retrievable IVC filter adherent to the IVC and not able to be removed with duration of the IVC filter left in situ (n=193 after excluding 30 patients who were lost to follow-up). First event occurred on day 50 after insertion of retrievable IVC filter. British Journal of Anaesthesia 2015 114, 63-69DOI: (10.1093/bja/aeu195) Copyright © 2015 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions
Fig 4 Hazard of having a retrievable IVC filter occluded with thrombus with duration of the IVC filter left in situ (n=193 after excluding 30 patients who were lost to follow-up). First event occurred on day 65 after insertion of retrievable IVC filter. British Journal of Anaesthesia 2015 114, 63-69DOI: (10.1093/bja/aeu195) Copyright © 2015 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions
