HOW WILL MY CASE PROCEED?

INFERIOR VENA CAVA FILTERS


Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filters were approved by the FDA for patients who may be at risk of developing blood clots in the heart or lungs. These filters are tiny devices which are inserted into the largest vein in your body in order to prevent blood clots that begin in the lower body from traveling up to the heart and lungs, where these blood clots can become fatal.

IVC filters are often used on patients who already had blood clots, and IVCs were implanted to prevent the clots from traveling to other organs. Many of these filters were Retrievable IVCs – intended for temporary use only. However, even if the IVC filter was used on a temporary basis, the removal itself can cause complications.

COMMON COMPLICATIONS DUE TO IVC FILTER REMOVAL


Some of the complications a patient may experience due to the removal of a temporary IVC filter include:

  • An abnormal filter position
  • Blood clot within the filter
  • Filter protruding through a blood vessel
  • Filter embedded into the inferior vena cava

 

If you have experienced any complications due to the removal of a temporary IVC filter, you may also be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Even if the IVC filter you have had installed is still present in your body, you may still be able to receive compensation for your injuries.

COMMON INJURIES SUFFERED DUE TO IVC FILTERS


The most common injuries resulting from the use of IVC filters are:

  • Device fracture causing thromboembolic event or damage in the heart, lung, kidney, liver, or other organs
  • Perforation of adjacent organs or vessel
  • Migration causing loss of effectiveness or failure of the device
  • Migration rendering device removal impossible
