Is An IVC Filter Necessary For A Paraganglioma Removal?
When is an IVC filter necessary for surgery? My daughter is having surgery to remove a paraganglomia near her liver. My daughter has a blood clotting discorder of factor 5 and low protein s. She has not had any clots nor is she on any blood thinning medicine. Her father has a blood clotting disorder and is on coumidin to regulate it. The surgeon is suggesting heprin after surgery and then lovenox for 21 or 28 days. Is this appropriate?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can.
I suggest it too since surgery is in abdomen and prolonged resting may be required. She has postive family histroy of clot disorders and this is not worth risking.
