    The Amplatz retrievable filter showed successful retrieval in dogs without complications. One filter placement led to inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis, with no retrieval attempted in that case.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Medical Devices
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are used to prevent pulmonary embolism.
    • Retrievable IVC filters offer temporary protection against thromboembolism.
    • Assessing the safety and efficacy of new retrievable filter designs is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and retrievability of the new Amplatz retrievable filter.
    • To assess the performance of the Amplatz filter in a canine model.

    Main Methods:

    • The Amplatz retrievable filter was implanted in the IVC of 7 dogs (15 placements total).
    • Filter retrieval was attempted after 1 week (11 cases) and 2 weeks (3 cases).
    • Complications and successful retrieval rates were documented.

    Main Results:

    • Successful retrieval was achieved in all 14 attempted cases.
    • No complications were reported during the retrieval of 14 filters.
    • One filter placement resulted in IVC thrombotic occlusion; retrieval was not attempted.

    Conclusions:

    • The Amplatz retrievable filter demonstrated high success rates for placement and retrieval in the canine model.
    • The filter appears safe and effective for temporary IVC filtration, with a low complication rate.
    • Further studies are warranted to investigate the single case of IVC thrombosis.
