Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks ! Who installs the Greenfield filter? Does it hurt? Irene Raynaud's Disease 09/07 PF 03/07 Canada ---- Original Message ---- To: Breathe-Support Sent: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 8:30 pm Subject: Irene Blood clots Hi Irene I had a Greenfield filter installed in my vein near the belly button about 5 years ago. It catches blood clots when they move up from the legs. With it I don't have to worry If a clot starts to move http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_vena_cava_filter http://www.venous-info.com/handbook/hbk11a.html P P PM (Polymositis) 12/98, UIP 8/00, o2 24/7 8/04, PH 3/06, ILL yo 59 Looking for last minute shopping deals?
