Experience with this  lter has accumulated since the device was approved by the FDA in 1991.  e initial pro­spective multicenter trial showed that  lter insertion was successful in 181 out of 186 patients (97%):placement of the remainder was precluded only because of unfavorable
61
anatomy.
Initial follow-up data, obtained from all partici­pating centers at 30 d, showed minimal  lter movement in 11%; with no signi cant proximal migration.  ere was evi­dence of penetration of the wall of the IVC in only one case (0.8%), with no clinical sequelae. In another clinical study of the titanium Green eld  lter, the follow-up period was extended to at least 12months.  e late patency rate was 99%, with recurrent PE in 3.7% of 176 patients who were

GREENFIELDFILTER
 is is a 12-Fr stainless steel  lter (Boston Scienti c, MA) that is used as an alternative device for percutaneous place­ment (Figure 43.4).  is device allows for over-the-wire delivery and a  exible carrier system to facilitate safe deliv­ery. It is the tallest of the Green eld  lters, at 4.9cm, with a resting base diameter of 3.2cm, between those of the tita­nium Green eld  lter (3.8cm) and the original Green eld  lter (3.0cm). Two of the six hooks of this  lter are angled distally (Figure 43.4), which facilitates secure  xation within the vena cava.  e device is manufactured from the same material as the original stainless steel Green eld  lter, but the wires exit from the apex at a di erent angle, which

and a large series of 568

 e device consists of four stainless steel wires 25cm long and 0.18 in diameter.  e wires are preshaped into a criss-crossing, nonmatch­ing array of bends intended to provide multiple barriers to thromboemboli (Figure43.4).  e end of each wire is attached to a strut that ends in a hook for  xation to the
64,65
wall of the vena cava.
One strut is z-shaped so that a pusher wire can be attached for insertion.  e  lter was redesigned in 1986 using a sti er 0.46mm wire to improve  xation. Modi cation of the  lter resulted in as increase in the preload system from 8-Fr to a 12-Fr size. During inser­tion of the  lter, the pusher is used to set the  rst group of hooks into the caval wall.  e wires are then extruded with the goal of closely packing the formed loops into a 7-cm segment of the infrarenal vena cava.  e second group of hooks are then pushed into the wall of the cava, and the pusher is removed by unscrewing it from the  lter.  e theoretical advantages of this  lter include:(1)the abil­ity to trap small emboli; (2)the ability to accommodate cavae as large as 40mm in diameter; (3)the possibility that wires may be able to occlude nearby collaterals; (4)avoid­ance of the need for intraluminal centering because of the con guration of the device; and (5)the lack of radically oriented struts, thereby limiting the tendency toward caval wall penetration. Only 37 of 481 patients with the  lter in place for more than six months were available for follow-up. Seven patients (19%) had occlusion of the vena cava; three symptomatic patients had pulmonary angiogra­phy for recurrent thromboembolism that was con rmed in one (3%), and proximal migration was seen in  ve patients resulting in one death secondary to the  lter being embed­ded in a massive PE.  ese results occurred before strut modi cation. In a study of the new modi ed strut, there were three cases of  lter migration in thirty-two place-
66
ments;
two were identi ed within 24 h of placement and were corrected by angiographic manipulation, and one was not detected until six months a er placement, and it was embedded in the right atrium and ventricle and could not be repositioned.

More recently, Nicholson et al.
reported on the long-term clinical follow-up of the Bird’s Nest  lters in a small group of patients. Seventy-eight consecutive patients with  lters placed between 1989 and 1994 were recalled for clinical assessment and imaging studies. Recurrent PE occurred in 1.3% of patients, and IVC occlusion in 4.7%.  ere was no  lter migration. Wire prolapse was visualized
in 70% by abdominal plain  lm. CT also showed asymp­tomatic penetration of the IVC wall in 85.3% of the patients studied. Aortic penetration was also reported, resulting in a clinically signi cant aortic pseudoaneurysm from penetra-
68
tion of one of the  lter struts, which required repair.
 e rate of IVC occlusion associated with the Bird’s Nest device appears to be similar to other caval devices, although esti-
64,69
mates range from 0% to 19%.
SIMON NITINOLFILTER
 e Nitinol  lter (Bard, Covington, GA),  rst described in 1977, is made of a nickel-titanium alloy and is a pliable straight wire when cool, but transforms rapidly into a pre­viously imprinted, rigid shape when warmed.  e  lter is a 28-mm dome shape with eight overlapping loops, below which the wires are shaped into a cone with six diverging legs with terminal hooks, used to a x it to the vena cava
70
wall (Figure43.4).
 e  lter wire is advanced rapidly with a feeder pump using iced, normal saline infused through a 9-Fr delivery catheter. When it is discharged from the storage tube, it expands instantly, assumes the appropriate shape, and is locked into place (Figure43.4).
Of 103 patients undergoing placement at seventeen
centers, only forty-four were available for follow-up.
70
 ere were three cases of recurrent PE, seven cases of con rmed vena cava occlusion, and two suspected cases based on clinical examination. In a more recent study of 224 patients, 65 patients (29%) completed a 6-month
71
follow-up.
Four percent of patients developed recurrent PE, one of which was fatal; 19.6% had caval occlusion; and three deaths were associated with massive caval thrombo­sis. It is currently believed that the Nitinol  lter may be
71
thrombogenic.
In 1998, Poletti etal.
72
reported on the long-term perfor­mance of Simon Nitinol  lters in 114 consecutive patients with an average follow-up of 27months.  ey prospectively evaluated thirty-eight of these patients, and the remain­ing patients were retrospectively evaluated from follow-up clinical data. Five patients (4.4.%) had recurrent PE and
5.3% had documented DVT, with thrombosis at the exit site noted in 3.5%. Filter migration was not found in this series, but IVC thrombosis was noted in 3.5%.  e Nitinol  lter was found to have penetrated the IVC wall in 95% of patients, and was found to be in contact with adjacent organs in 76%; however all of these were asymptomatic. Sixty-three percent of the  lters were eccentrically posi­tioned within the vena cava, and 16% were found to have partial disruption that did not appear to a ect  lter func-
73
tion. In 2001, Wolfe etal.
reported a recurrent PE rate of
7.7% with evidence of IVC penetration in all 117 patients they analyzed. Strut fracture was noted in 2.9% of patients, and 19% had eccentrically oriented  lters.  ere were no cases of IVC thrombosis in theirstudy.

 e Vena Tech  lter (B. Braun, Boulogne, France) was  rst introduced in France in 1986. It is a cone-shaped  l­ter with stabilizing struts added to each limb that are designed for percutaneous use.  e  lter is made of phynox and is a stamped, six-prong device with hooked stabiliz­ers with sharp ends intended to center and a x the device

 e  lter uses a 12-Fr catheter system, usually inserted through the right internal jugular vein over a guidewire.
 e early experience from France shows 100 attempts at insertion, resulting in 98  lter discharges. Eighty-two  l­ters were in the correct position, eight showed a tilt of 15 degrees or greater, and eight had opened incompletely, with
74
three of these associated with a tilt.
Amore recent report showed a 2% recurrent embolism rate, a 23% rate of inser­tion site venous thrombosis, a 92% IVC patency rate at six months, a 14% migration rate, and a 6% rate of incomplete
75
opening of the  lter.
Breakage of the stabilizer struts has also been reported.  is  lter was designed to prevent tilt, but continues to show a high incidence of tilting.
Long-term studies of this device by Crochet etal.

have demonstrated that there has been a 73% incidence of  lter occlusion overtime.
VENA TECH LOW PROFILEFILTER
 e Vena Tech low pro le  lter (Vena Tech LP) has a release wire design contained within a 6-Fr introducer sheath, which allows placement of the  lter through alter­native venous access sites.  is  lter is 43mm in height and 40mm in diameter in its unconstrained state.  is  lter was approved in 2001 by the FDA for placement in IVCs that were 28mm or less in diameter, but can be used for a cava as

retrievable  lter in Europe, it has not received FDA approval for this application. Several Canadian medical centers have reported successful retrieval of this  lter using an endovas­cular approach within 12 to 14 d a er insertion. Recent reports state that the  lter can actually be repositioned every seven days; which potentially increases the likelihood
79
that it can be removed.
Millward et al.

reported the results of placement of Gunther Tulip  lters in ninety patients from eight hospi­tals. Filter retrieval was attempted in   y-two patients with   y-three  lters, and was successful in   y-two  lters.  e duration of  lter implantation was 2 to 25 d, with a mean implantation time of 9 d.In thirty-nine patients in whom the  lter was not retrieved (a mean follow-up of 85days), two  lter occlusions (5%) were noted. No other complica­tion of  lter placement werenoted.

 e G2  lter jugular/subclavian system (Bard, Figure43.5) consists of a  lter and delivery system. It can be delivered via the femoral and jugular/subclavian approaches, and a sepa­rate delivery system is available for each approach. It con­sists of twelve shape-memory nitinol wires emanating from a central nitinol sleeve.  ese twelve wires form two levels of  ltration of emboli: the legs provide the lower level of  ltration, and the arms provide the upper level of  ltration.  e delivery system consists of a 10-Fr introducer sheath and dilator, the G2  lter, and a delivery device.  e  lter is packaged preloaded within the delivery device, and it is designed to act as a permanent  l t e r.
When clinically indicated, the G2  lter may be percuta­neously removed a er implantation using the recovery cone removal system. It is intended to be used in an IVC with a diameter of ≤28mm.  e system consists of a dilator and introducer set and a delivery device.  e dilator accepts a
GUNTHER TULIPFILTER
 e Gunther Tulip  lter (Cook, Inc.) is a low-pro le  lter that uses the same funnel-shaped design as the Green eld  lter (Figure43.4).  is  lter was introduced in 1992 for use in Europe and has been available in the United States since 2001.  e  lter is constructed from elgiloy, and an MRI-compatible material. It consists of four main struts, each 0.45 mm in diameter, con gured as a cross. Each strut has an elongated wire loop that extends inferiorly three-fourths of the length from the apex to the hooked end of the four main cross struts.  e four main struts con­tain 1-mm-long hooks at the inferior end for caval  xation.  e  lter is 30mm in diameter and 45mm long in its fully expanded state.  e  lter can be placed using 8.5-Fr intro­ducer sheaths via the femoral or jugularvein.

pressure contrast power injection.  e 10-Fr introducer sheath contains a radiopaque tip and hemostasis valve with a side port for saline infusion and a delivery mechanism to deploy the G2  lter.  e delivery device contains a spline cap that mechanically separates the  lter hooks from one another in a unique pattern to prevent leg entanglement. Once the introducer sheath is in position, the delivery device is advanced through the introducer sheath until the introducer and delivery hubs snap together.  e safety clip is then removed.  e introducer hub is pulled back over the pusher wire handle to unsheath and release the  lter, allow­ing it to recover to its predetermined shape. Nonclinical testing has demonstrated that the G2  lter is MRI condi­tional. It can be scanned safely under speci c conditions.  e jugular or subclavian delivery system should not be used for the femoral approach, as this will result in improper  lter orientation within theIVC.
A clinical study involving 100 patients was conducted to assess the safety of removal of the G2  lter. Sixty-one patients underwent a  lter retrieval procedure, and   y-eight were successful. Of the forty-two patients who did not have their  lter retrieved, six died of unrelated causes, three withdrew, two were lost to follow-up, and thirty-one failed to meet retrieval eligibility criteria (within 6 months a er  lter placement).  e time to retrieval in the   y-eight patients with successful  lter retrievals ranged from  ve to 300 d,

 e TrapEase caval  lter (Cordis, Figure43.4), approved by the FDA in 2002, is a symmetric double-basket caval  lter constructed from nickel-titanium (nitinol) material. It is a small pro le  lter that is inserted through a 6-Fr introducer. It has a unique biconvex symmetric  lter that allows a sin­gle  lter to be placed from either direction.  is  lter has six struts that frame the  lter in a diamond or trapezoidal con guration and ends in two superior and inferior bas­kets created by six struts converging at the apex of the  lter. Proximal and distal hooks are  xed at the straight struts that parallel the wall of the cava.  e superior basket is conical and oriented in the conventional concave position.  e inferior basket is oriented in a mirror position with the apex pointing inferiorly (Figure43.4).  e hook is placed at one apex of the  lter for manipulation and possible retrieval of the  lter.  e  lter can be inserted through the femoral,
42,44
jugular, subclavian, or antecubital vein.
 e deployed  l­ter measures 50–62mm in length and is approved for vena cavas <30mm in diameter and it is MRI compatible.

Rousseau etal.
reported the results of a small French multicenter prospective trial to evaluate the TrapEase IVC  lter. Atotal of sixty- ve patients were enrolled in twelve centers throughout Europe and Canada.  ey reported a 95.4% technical success rate in  lter placement, with a
clinical success rate of 100% at 6months (with no symp­tomatic PE).  ere was no  lter migration,  lter fracture, vessel wall penetration, or insertion site thrombosis during this short follow-up period, however two patients had early IVC thrombosis within30d.

Schutzer etal.
reported the results of a retrospective study of 189 consecutively inserted infrarenal TrapEase  lters at a single institution over a 22-month period.  e technical success rate was 100%, with a symptomatic caval thrombosis rate of 1.5%, one case of symptomatic PE, and
85
one case of intracardiac migration.
86
Kalva etal.
reviewed the clinical and imaging data of 751 patients who had TrapEase IVC  lters placed during a 4-year period. Indications for  lter placement were:con­traindications to anticoagulation (61%), complications of anticoagulation (6%), failure of anticoagulation (5%), and prophylaxis (28%). Filters were placed in the infrarenal (n=738) or suprarenal (n=13) position through a femoral (n=729) or jugular vein (n=22) approach. Follow-up CT scans of the chest and abdomen were evaluated for recurrent PE and  lter-related complications, respectively.
During a mean 295-day clinical follow-up, 7.5% of patients developed symptoms of PE, and one (0.1%) death was attributed to PE. Chest CT performed for various clini­cal indications in 219 patients at a mean of 192days showed PE in 15 patients (6.8%; 2/3 were symptomatic, but none were fatal). Follow-up abdominal CTs at a mean of 189days showed fracture of  lter components in 3.0%, thrombus within the  lter in 25%, thrombus extending beyond the  lter in 1.5%, near total caval occlusion in 0.7%, and no cases of migration.  ey concluded that the TrapEase vena cava  lter is e ective in the prevention of PE, with minimal complications.

Corriere et al.
conducted a comparative analysis of consecutive patients undergoing placement of retrievable versus permanent IVC  lters to analyze the incidence of IVC thrombosis during a 4-year period at one institution. A total of 189 IVC  lter cases (165 permanent and 24 retrievable) were examined. Over a median follow-up of
8.5months, no signi cant hemorrhage, no IVC  lter migra­tion, and four cases of vena cava thrombosis were observed. Vena cava thrombosis was observed more frequently with retrievable IVC  lters, compared to permanent IVC  lters (12.5% versus 0.6%; p = 0.007). All observed vena cava thromboses were associated with severe clinical symptoms and occurred in patients who received opposed biconi­cal IVC  lter designs (TrapEase and OptEase). Although causative factors remain unclear,  lter design and resultant  ow dynamics may play an important role, because all epi­sodes of vena cava thrombosis occurred in patients with a single- lter design.
89
Fox and Kahn
conducted a systematic review to assess the frequency of symptoms and signs of postthrom­botic syndrome in relation to IVC  lter placement.  ey also assessed whether the initial indication for IVC  lter placement—prevention of PE in a patient without known venous thrombosis (i.e., primary prevention) versus pre­vention of PE in patients with known venous thrombosis (i.e., secondary prevention)—or concurrent use of antico­agulation or compression stockings in uenced this rate. Eleven articles describing 1,552 patients met the criteria for review. At a mean follow-up of 4.5years, the weighted pooled incidence of edema was 43%, and that of chronic skin changes (including venous ulcers) was 12%. Among patients who had IVC  lter insertion for secondary pre­vention, 52% had edema and 14% had skin changes at follow-up, compared with 20% and 8%, respectively, in patients who received an IVC  lter for primary preven­tion. One study reported no di erence in the frequency of symptoms and signs of postthrombotic syndrome accord­ing to whether anticoagulation was initiated in addition to  lter placement.
90
Nazzal etal.,
in a retrospective review of 400 IVC  lter implants, predominately permanent  lters (80% TrapEase and Green eld); demonstrated a signi cant di erence in  lter complications based on  lter type. Migration and or tilt were seen more frequently with Bard  lters, compared to other  lters individually (p < 0.004, 11.8% versus 0.55% as a group), and IVC thrombosis was signi cantly more common with the TrapEase  lter. Speci cally, in patients with either hypercoagulable or malignant conditions, 25% of patients developed IVC thrombosis with the TrapEase  lter, compared to none in its absence.
Additional complications related to permanent IVC  l­ters include penetration and perforation of the IVC into the gastrointestinal tract. Asystematic review of the literature reported symptomatic duodenal perforations in twenty-one patients.  e most common presentation was abdominal pain, with most presenting over 2years a er implant.  e most common IVC  lter was the Green eld  lter in 7/19 of known  lter type. Management varied from the trim­ming of the legs of the  lter with intestinal repair to com-
91
plete extraction of  lter and caval repair.
FOLLOWUP AFTER IVC FILTERS
 ere is no speci c protocol for late follow-up of patients receiving IVC  lters, especially when the patient is asymp­tomatic. It is generally believed that a simple physical examination in conjunction with a plain abdominal X-ray can detect the majority of complications of IVC  lters. CT scanning and duplex ultrasonography are helpful in assess­ing any abnormalities. Venography should be reserved for patients in whom these modalities are not helpful.
In a prospective observational study of patients with
92
permanent IVC  lters,
patients without a contraindica­tion for anticoagulation were evaluated with duplex exami­nation of the IVC lower extremity veins at least once per year. Patients with IVC thrombus were managed with a more intensive anticoagulation regimen by speci ed pro­tocol. Despite anticoagulation, new PEs were diagnosed in 5% of patients, new DVTs in 20%, IVC thrombus in 30%, and a major bleeding episode occurred in 7%. With these prospective ultrasound-based  ndings despite anticoagula­tion, it raises concerns for long-term implantation, even in patients who can receive anticoagulation.
COMMENTS/CONCLUSIONS
Many di erent and ingenious caval  lters are currently available on the market for clinical use; however, the per­fect  lter has not been developed. It appears likely that caval  lters do reduce the incidence of PE, but may result in IVC thrombosis and a higher incidence of recurrent lower extremity DVT than is seen with anticoagulation alone. Prospective randomized trials comparing the e cacy of  l­ters and various  lter devices are presently lacking. Each of these  lters has its own advantages and disadvantages, there­fore the physician must select a  lter that is suitable to his patient and the one with which he or she is familiar. Because of concerns over the long-term performance characteristics of caval  lters, it is best to adhere to strict indications for  lter insertion.
93
Recently, Berczi et al.
investigated the long-term retrievability of IVC  lters and whether we should aban­don permanent devices, and they concluded that there is
PERMANENT VENA CAVA FILTERS • 363
still a de nite role for permanent  lters, which have a far
https://t.me/med1917
longer clinical practice history—and this is the Achilles heel of the retrievable  lters. Follow-up (preferably prospective) is necessary for all retrievable  lters, regardless of whether or not they are retrieved. Until these data become available, we should restrict ourselves to the present indications for permanent  lters. If long-term follow-up data on a larger number of cases con rm that retrievable  lters are as safe and e ective as permanent  lters, use of retrievable  lters is likely to expand.

COMPLICATIONS OF VENA CAVA FILTERS
Teresa L. Carman and Linda M.  Graham
BACKGROUND
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is optimally treated by anticoagulation. When anticoagulation must be withheld, inferior vena cava (IVC) interruption a ords protection against major embolic events. IVC interruption has pro­gressed from cava ligation, plication, or caval clips to per­cutaneously placed devices. Complications associated with surgical caval interruption and  rst-generation IVC  lters have driven the modi cation and design of devices to mini­mize endothelial cell interaction, use smaller deployment hardware, use alloys compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) imaging, and have decreased thrombogenicity. Currently available devices include permanent  lters that once deployed remain in place inde nitely and optionally retrievable  lters that may be le in place permanently or may be removed within weeks to months depending on the device. Optionally retrievable  lters have modi cations to the caval attachment sites and/or hooks at one end to facilitate removal.  is is appealing because absolute contraindications to systemic anticoagulation may be short-lived, and the long-term out­comes of IVC  lters may not be as benign as once thought. So optionally retrievable  lters are designed to provide the e cacy of a permanent  lter and yet minimize the compli­cations of a long-term indwelling vascular device.  ere are no unique indications or recommendations that have been
1
made regarding optionally retrievable IVC  lters.
 e deci­sion regarding the use of a permanent or optionally retriev­able  lter must be made individually for each patient.
Table 44.1 outlines the current absolute and relative indications for IVC  lter placement. Contraindications to anticoagulation, complications of anticoagulation, or thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism [PE] or recur­rent/propagation of deep venous thrombosis [DVT]) despite adequate anticoagulation are considered indica-
2
tions for  lter placement.
 ese accepted indications are frequently expanded to include a number of relative indica­tions. In addition, in some centers IVC  lters are used for
3,4
primary prophylaxis against pulmonary embolism.
With
these indications in mind it is important to recognize that an IVC  lter does not treat VTE but protects that patient from the most serious adverse event, massive, fatal pulmo­nary embolism. Anticoagulation should be initiated despite
2
the presence of a  lter when deemed safe.
However, there are no recommendations regarding the duration of antico­agulation in this setting.
 ere has been a trend toward increasing IVC  lter use for both VTE management and for primary prophylaxis. In a recent population based study of 9,665 IVC  lters the authors demonstrated a 40% increase in  lter place­ment; 1,446  lters were placed in 1991 with an increased to 2,447  lters in 1995. Sixty percent (5,621/9,665) of the  lters were deployed in patients without a primary diagno­sis of VTE (i.e., used for primary or secondary VTE pro-
5
phylaxis).
During a 21-year period data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) database demon­strated an increase in  lter placement from 2,000 in 1979 to 49,000 in 1999. In 1999, 45% of  lters were placed in patients with DVT, 36% in patients with PE, and 19% of IVC  lters were placed in patients without a coded diag-
6
nosis for VTE.
Registries of patients treated for VTE have
demonstrated IVC  lter insertion rates of 2% in Spain
7,8
compared with 14% in a US study.
In the US study, 33% of IVC  lters were inserted for primary prophylaxis in patients with DVT, and 17% were placed for indications other than the three absolute indications for IVC  lter
8
placement.
 e robust use of IVC  lters for prophylaxis and for rela­tive indications is concerning, given the lack of comparative data or prospective, randomized trials regarding IVC  lter use. Most of the literature regarding the use and complica­tions of IVC  lters is derived from case series, retrospective studies, or prospective trials enrolling patients with a single
9
 lter type.
In addition, as more  lters are approved there is
little long-term data for most devices.
Several comprehensive reviews of IVC  lters and  lter complications have been published detailing the design, deployment, and complications of both the permanent and
10–13
optionally retrievable  lters.
