Source text - Japanese 肺塞栓症(pulmonary embolism: PE)は深部静脈血栓症(deep vein thrombosis: DVT)の重大な合併症であり、その治療は抗凝固療法が第一選択である1)。PEの予防として下大静脈フィルターが考案されたのは1967年であるが 2)、その後1984年に経皮的に挿入可能なGreenfield フィルターが紹介されてから、永久留置型フィルターは広く使用されるようになった3)。しかし1998年、Decoususらによって永久留置型フィルター留置に関する無作為試験がなされ、短期的なPE予防には効果があるが長期的にはDVTの再発率を増加させると報告された4)。
Translation - English Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious complication arising from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for which the treatment of choice is anti-coagulant therapy1. The inferior vena cava filter was first invented as a prophylactic against PE in 19672, but with the introduction in 1984 of the Greenfield filter, which could be inserted transcutaneously, permanent indwelling filters became widely used3. However, in 1998, Decousus et al conducted randomized trials related to the placement of permanent indwelling filters and announced that while they helped prevent PE in the short term, they increased the rate of re-occurrence of DVT over the long term4.
