“…This filter has also been reported to having a 10% caval occlusion rate at 5 years in a Chinese study of over 1200 VenaTech LP filter placements [34]. Of note, a recent study did successfully describe retrieval for 3 patients with VenaTech LP filters suffering from filter-associated IVC thrombosis and/or malpositioning [31].…”

“…Cardiopulmonary and superior vena cava migration of the VenaTech LP has been reported, though this is largely limited to case reports and case series in literature and considered a relatively uncommon complication [30–32]. Other reports have described incomplete deployment with this filter type and hypothesized this being secondary to manufacturing defects [33,34].…”

Inferior vena cava filters are commonly encountered devices on diagnostic imaging that were highlighted in a 2010 Food and Drug Administration safety advisory regarding their complications from long-term implantation. The Predicting the Safety and Effectiveness of Inferior Vena Cava Filters (PRESERVE) trial is an ongoing after-market study investigating the safety and utility of commonly utilized filters in practice today. While most of these filters are safe, prompt recognition and management of any filter-associated complication is imperative to prevent or reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with them. This review is aimed at discussing the appropriate utilization and placement of inferior vena cava filters in addition to the recognition of filter-associated complications on cross-sectional imaging. An overview of the PRESRVE trial filters is also provided to understand each filter's propensity for specific complications.
