Kazi Mobin-Uddin, MD was an American surgeon specializing in vascular surgery research.[1] In 1969 he developed the first Inferior vena cava filter while on faculty at University of Miami for patients with deep vein thrombosis.[3][4] He published his findings in New England Journal of Medicine[5] and Archives of Surgery.[6] Till then patients with deep vein thrombosis required a high-risk invasive surgical procedure to prevent thrombus embolization to the pulmonary artery.[3] Newsweek magazine reported on the discovery in its October 20, 1969 issue calling it "Umbrella of life."[3] The Mobin-Uddin umbrella was released for general clinical use in 1970.[1]

American College of Chest Physicians has incorporated Inferior vena cava filter into guidelines for management of deep vein thrombosis.[7] Over 50,000 Inferior vena cava filter are placed in United States each year.[8]
