“…At present, there is a consensus that an ideal IVC filter should be non-migratory, non-thrombogenic and if possible, while capturing clots efficiently and maintaining vena cava patency (Leask et al, 2001(Leask et al, , 2004Harlal et al, 2007;Lessne et al, 2016;Montgomery and Kaufman, 2016). Most of the aforementioned concerns depend, to a certain extent, on the hemodynamic characteristics of an IVC filter design (López et al, 2018), which can be directly observed in vivo by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (Gaines et al, 2018) or investigated by some in vitro experimental techniques, such as photochromic flow visualization (Couch et al, 1997). However, both in vivo and in vitro measurements do not study certain pathological states or physical models with the use of IVC filters and are always limited to specific patients and the setup ability and by high cost (Swaminathan et al, 2006).…”
