IVC Filter Study to Monitor and Measure Patients Outcomes Through Standardized Collection and Analysis of Clinical Information
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is an important therapeutic device used in the management of venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) in patients that are contra-indicated for anti-coagulation therapy. While there has been significant increase in the use of filters , unfortunately there are no standardized collection of data to track, compare outcomes, report safety and efficacy.
The registry is a multi-institutional bioinformatics database for the collection of data relevant to Inferior vena cava filters. Participating study centers may enroll patients and enter data in the web-based registry that include demographics, clinical features, management details and follow-up up to 48 months.
The purpose of this study is to improve our understanding of the retrieval rate, long term safety and efficacy on IVC filters placed in North America.
