Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and stability of a newly designed retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filter in vitro experiment.Methods In the flow model,thrombus capture rate and stability of the new IVC filter,and the Recovery retrievable filter were tested in varied thrombus size,tube diameters and positions.The process was repeated with a piece of cow aorta to observe the capture rate and stability.Results The emboli capture rate of different embolism diameter (2,3,5 mm) was 91.50%,96.50%and 99.50%,respectively.For two tube diameter (21,28 mm) was 98.00%and 93.67%,respectively.For the two directions (horizontal,vertical) was 94.33%,97.33%,and the total capture rate was 95.83%.Under those different conditions,the capture rates of Recovery filter was 81.00%,91.00%,95.00%;92.33%,85.67% and 87.67%,90.33%,respectively.while the total capture rate was 89.00%.Using the cow vessel,the capture rate was 88.50%,94.00%,98.00%;94.67%,92.33%;91.33%,95.67%,respectively;and the total rate was 93.50%.During experiment,two types of filter did not move or deflect.Conclusion The newly designed retrievable IVC filter is effective and stable in vitro study,and the capability of trapping emboli is better than that of Recovery filter.
