H) Deployment of the filter
1. Under fluoroscopic guidance, align the top of
the filter cone with the radiopaque marker
placed on the patient at the beginning of the
procedure. (This is the final adjustment of filter
position prior to deployment).
2. Once the filter has reached the proper level for
deployment, be careful not to move the
introduction system.
3. Confirm under fluoroscopy that the sheath has
not moved and that the filter is properly
positioned at the desired level for deployment.
The top of the filter should be at the level of
the metallic marker placed on the patient.
4. Holding the pusher firmly with one hand, take
the sheath in the other hand and, under
fluoroscopic guidance, withdraw the sheath.
This movement deploys the filter.
Reminder : To assure good filter position, it is
extremely important not to move the pusher :
• during the step prior to filter
deployment,
• during filter deployment.
5. The filter is now implanted.
