Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are used to prevent pulmonary embolism.
  • Anticoagulation therapy is the primary treatment for venous thromboembolism.
  • Some patients have contraindications or insufficient response to anticoagulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the preliminary experience with the Bird's Nest IVC filter.
  • To assess the feasibility and safety of Bird's Nest filter placement.
  • To evaluate early outcomes in patients receiving the Bird's Nest filter.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of six patients considered for Bird's Nest filter placement over 28 months.
  • Filter placement via percutaneous femoral vein access.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Ultrasound examinations to assess filter patency and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Three of six patients underwent successful filter placement without immediate complications.
    • Two filters were placed via the right common femoral vein, one via the left.
    • Two patients had normal ultrasound findings at 90 and 350 days post-placement.

    Conclusions:

    • The Bird's Nest filter can be successfully placed by interventional radiologists.
    • Further studies are needed to confirm long-term efficacy and safety.
    • IVC filter insertion is uncommon in Denmark and should be performed by specialists.
