Abstract
We report three cases of extensive thrombosis of the inferior vena cav a after insertion of a temporary cava filter in patients with hypercoa gulable state. The indication of implantation of a temporary cava filt er in these kinds of patients patients have to be questioned. A primar y implantation of a definite filter should be prefered.
