What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intravascular Filter DeviceDevice

    Vena cava filter which is implanted into the inferior vena cava of patients to prevent recurrent pulmonary embolism. The filter can be utilized as a permanent or retrievable device.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With Clinical Success

    Placement Technical Success without subsequent pulmonary embolism, significant filter migration, symptomatic caval thrombosis or other complication requiring filter removal or invasive intervention to address condition.

    Measured: up to 180 days

  2. Percentage of Participants With Retrieval Clinical Success

    Intact filter retrieval via percutaneous techniques from the vasculature without associated injury or damage to the vena cava requiring intervention.

    Measured: upto 175 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Placement Technical Success

    Successful deployment of the filter at the intended placement level such that the filter is judged suitable by the Investigator for mechanical protection against pulmonary embolism.

    Measured: Immediately post placement procedure
