# Filter Opt Elite IVC Vena Cava The Filter Opt Elite is a small metal device that is placed in the body's largest vein (called the vena cava) to catch blood clots and prevent them from traveling to the lungs. Your doctor might recommend this procedure if you have blood clots or are at high risk for developing them but cannot take blood-thinning medications for safety reasons. During the procedure, a doctor uses imaging guidance to insert a thin tube through a vein, usually in your neck or groin, and positions the filter inside the vena cava; the procedure typically takes less than an hour and may be done in a hospital or outpatient center.
