I have been told by 2 doctors that they don't do filters anymore. I have really bad scarring in my left groin from my first DVT, which led to a 2nd DVT in my calf years later.

I feel at risk even though I wear a stocking and take Eliquis. I see a lot of people mentioning their filters they have had put in. Is this maybe just a Canadian thing?
