IVC Filter Non-retrieval proving to be a threat

Introduction

IVC Filter lawsuits are also stirring up quite some news; the number of lawsuits being filed is going up with more incidents of retrieval problems coming forward along with incidents of dislocation and lodging of the filter parts to other sensitive areas/organs further leading to more surgeries and complexities. A recent study published in Cardiovascular Interventions strongly suggests that retrieval of the IVC implants must be done within 7months from the date of the implant which might otherwise lead to increased chances of complications and problems, eventually demanding advanced removal procedures.
