    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Traditional vena caval filters (Mobin-Uddin, Kimray-Greenfield) are associated with placement complications.
    • Pulmonary embolism prophylaxis often requires temporary solutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Amplatz retrievable vena caval filter.
    • To assess the filter's suitability for temporary pulmonary embolism prophylaxis.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous insertion of the Amplatz filter in 16 patients.
    • Monitoring for complications and pulmonary embolism symptoms.
    • Assessing filter retrieval outcomes.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • All 16 filters were easily inserted percutaneously.
  • Three complications occurred: inferior vena cava thrombosis, filter misplacement, and cranial thrombus.
  • Filter misplacement was largely eliminated with the current system.
  • No patient experienced pulmonary embolism symptoms post-insertion.
  • One filter retrieval was successful without complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Amplatz retrievable vena caval filter is a viable option for temporary pulmonary embolism prophylaxis.
    • The design facilitates percutaneous insertion and retrieval, potentially reducing complications.
    • Further studies are warranted to fully establish long-term safety and efficacy.
