Have you or your loved one injured from an IVC filter after it was inserted into the largest vein in a human body? There are many like you in the United States who have suffered severe complications or side effects making them suffer in agony.
Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter is a spider shaped device that’s implanted by the doctors into a patient’s vein (inferior vena cava) for the purpose of preventing the blood clots to reach the lungs and heart. Blood clots pose the unwanted risk of breaking free and becoming fixed in a patient’s lungs, which seems fatal. The purpose of an IVC filter is to catch any blood clots that break free from reaching the lungs.
As per the studies conducted, it’s been shown that a large amount of IVC filters have been of a substandard quality. And in these faulty filters, small pieces of this device become detached travelling through a vein wall and striking one’s vital organs causing potentially fatal complications.
This metal device has known to have resulted in deaths of many people who’ve been inserted with a retrieval IVC filter. Many have, in fact, filed a Bard IVC filter lawsuit against the manufacturers of this devices who failed to issue an adequate warning against the possible risks of using these devices.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced back in August 2010 that 921 adverse reports had been filed. And it expressed concern that the retrievable IVC filters are intended to be used for a short term. But they are left too often inside a patient’s body until the risk of pulmonary embolism decreases. This agency issued a new advisory to all the doctors that the IVC filter should be removed after 29 to 54 days of their insertion.
