Inferior Vena Cava Injury | The Legal View | Farah & Farah

Welcome to The Legal View In September of 2015, a news report revealed that at least 27 deaths and three hundred injuries have been linked to flaws in the inferior vena cava (IVC) filter, or blood clot filters. Evidence reveals that the medical device company C.R. Bard was aware that the filter had a higher rate of risk of death, filter fracture, and movement than its competitors, but it did not recall or replace the device for years. The Food and Drug Administration has warned about the risks associated with the medical device known as an IVC filter. These devices are placed in the inferior vena cava near the heart to catch a blood clot, and to prevent pulmonary embolism, a condition in which one or more arteries in the lungs is blocked by a blood clot. Unfortunately, these IVC filters have been found to splinter, sending shards of the device into the bloodstream. These complications can be life threatening. The FDA has detailed the potential hazards including filter particles that break off, and travel to the heart, causing heart attacks, or to the brain, causing strokes.
