title: [Interruption of the vena cava inferior. A comparative study of the Adams de Weese clip and the Kimray Greenfield filter].
abstract: Efficacy of two methods for interruption of inferior vena cava was compared after insertion of 95 Adams de Weese clips by the sub or trans-peritoneal route and of 72 Greenfield filters usually by a jugular approach. Introducing Greenfield's filter to produce caval interruption did not require modification of operative indications. In contrast, it allowed caval blockade to be performed in more elderly patients, generally in a poorer condition, at the price of higher mortality, due more to the clinical circumstances of the interruption rather than the caval blockade itself. Postoperative follow up showed fewer caval thromboses after Greenfield's filter (15%) than after the pericaval clip (35%).
