IVC Filter Litigation

- 02.18


IVC filters are medical devices that are often placed in the body to prevent pulmonary embolism. Doctors use these devices when they discover thrombosis in a person's vein. The thrombus leads to a potential threat that it could be freely broken and deadly in the human lungs. The filter is placed in the inferior vena cava which is a large vessel located in the abdomen of a person carrying blood to the lungs. Its purpose is to catch lumps that are freely broken without reaching the lungs.

The IVC filter is surgically treated via a needle inserted into the neck or groin of a person. Generally seen as a relatively low risk treatment, problems such as bleeding and infection can occur. The clinically proven objective of this product is that blood coagulation known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is free for those who can not use typical thrombotic treatments such as blood thinner and anticoagulant It is to prevent it from becoming - coagulant. DVT generally occurs in a vein located on a person's foot or pelvis.

Recently, research has shown that a significant amount of IVC filter has defects. In defective devices, some of the metal devices are often removed, they have moved into the area and often bumped into critical organs. These devices are commonly used for filtering on brands such as Recovery TM and G2 TM IVC Filters.

A defective IVC filter can cause sudden chest pain near the place where it is located. Those experiencing such symptoms need to immediately contact the authorized medical personnel who can use CT scan to determine whether they are causing such problems.

Defective IVC filters can lead to excessive pain, additional surgery, and permanent damage to internal organs. Surgery may be able to solve the problem that arises, but often surgery is not a viable option due to stress on internal organs in such surgery.

If you are injured as a result of a defect in the IVC filter, you need to contact a experienced lawyer experienced in medical malpractice cases, especially those cases. This is a new field that only two lawyers in the country that have actually succeeded in these incidents are aware of it.
