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.
