Inclusion criteria

* The patient is at high risk for pulmonary embolism and is under consideration for placement of a permanent or short-term IVC filter. * The patient must have a patent internal jugular vein. * The patient or guardian must have given informed consent. * The patient must agree to return for clinical imaging follow-up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. * The patient must agree to have a clinical and imaging examination performed prior to filter retrieval. * The patient must agree to return for clinical and imaging follow-up at 30 days and 3 months after filter retrieval.

Exclusion criteria

* The patient is less than 18 years of age. * The patient is pregnant. * The patient has uncontrollable coagulopathy. * The patient has a life expectancy less than 6 months. * The patient has a vena cava diameter over 30 mm, measured by vena cava sizing catheters. * The patient's vena cava diameter is less than 15 mm, measured by vena cava sizing catheters. * The patient has a contrast allergy that can not be adequately pre-medicated. * The patient is simultaneously participating in another investigative drug or device study, or has a previous IVC filter.

Design outcomes

Major Adverse Eventup to 12 monthsComposite Major Adverse Event includes hemorrhage, perforation, pulmonary embolism, procedure-related or device-related death, occlusion, significant migration and filter fracture.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Successful Retrievalup to 12 monthsRetrieval attempt describes a procedure in which a physician tried to remove a filter from a patient. A decision to remove a filter was made after determining that the patient no longer required the filter. Retrieval attempts were either successful (i.e., the filter was removed) or unsuccessful (i.e., the filter could not be removed and remained in the patient as a permanent device).
Mean Time to Retrieval Attemptup to 12 monthsMean time to retrieval describes the average time filters were in place in the study group before a retrieval attempt was made. A retrieval attempt describes a procedure in which a physician tried to remove a filter from a patient. The mean time to retrieval describes the average time filters were in place before a retrieval attempt was made.

Mean Time to Retrieval Attempt

Mean time to retrieval describes the average time filters were in place in the study group before a retrieval attempt was made. A retrieval attempt describes a procedure in which a physician tried to remove a filter from a patient.

Successful Retrieval

Retrieval attempt describes a procedure in which a physician tried to remove a filter from a patient. A decision to remove a filter was made after determining that the patient no longer required the filter. Retrieval attempts were either successful (i.e., the filter was removed) or unsuccessful (i.e., the filter could not be removed and remained in the patient as a permanent device).

Time frame: up to 12 months

Population: 129 patients received a filter. Filters were placed as permanent devices in 34 patients and as temporary devices in 95 patients. A decision to retrieve a filter was made by the physician once the patient's medical condition warranted it (once the fliter was no longer required). Filter retrieval was attempted in 58 of 95 patients.
