title: [Worsening of proximal thrombosis after insertion of a temporary caval filter (3 cases)].
abstract: We report three cases of extensive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava after insertion of a temporary cava filter in patients with hypercoagulable state. The indication of implantation of a temporary cava filter in these kinds of patients have to be questioned. A primary implantation of a definite filter should be preferred.
