In 2013, the IVC Filter Registry became the first venous module added to the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI), expanding the VQI to become a comprehensive arterial and venous registry. The IVC Filter Retrieval Report is a critical feature to provide periodic email notifications to physicians and staff regarding filter procedures current or overdue for retrieval. This feature allows physicians and data managers to effectively and efficiently identify and track IVC Filter procedures which require filter removal.
