I was just wondering how it feels to have the filter put in to block blood clots

I have to have the filter put in because my bloodwork came back that I have a blood clotting factor which increases my chances for blood clots by at least 8%. Does the filter stay in forever? How long before surgery is it put in? Does this prevent blood clots from going to the brain, heart and lungs all the way?
