摘要

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the fatal heart attacks,and lower limbs deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the most common reason for PE.Inferior vena cava filter (IVCF)implantationis a most prevention for PE.But it may carry a high risk of injury because of the radiation and contrast agent.Patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) or some other renal diseases may prone to thrombosis due to the excretion of protein C and protein S overmuch.So,it is necessary to develop a new therapy without contrast agent.Mixed-reality (MR) is a new technology as a guidance of inferior vena cava filter implantation exposed under no X-ray and required no contrast agent.We describe a case of old man with NS and PE who can't tolerate traditional interventional surgery to prevent the embolus from falling off.We performed IVCF implantation guided by MR system which was totally suitable for this patient.
