An IVC blood clot filter is a cone-shaped wire device designed to catch blood clots before entering the lungs in order to prevent a pulmonary embolism. An IVC blood clot filter is implanted in the inferior vena cava (IVC). The IVC is a large vein that carries blood from the lower half of the body back to the heart.

Side Effects & Complications

Serious side effects and complications may arise after having an IVC blood clot filter implanted. Many of the side effects are believed to be due to design defects with certain IVC filter devices. Side effects and complications from these devices may include:

• A fractured device, or pieces of the device break off;
• Filter migration;
• Filter embolization;
• Perforation or puncturing of the vena cava, heart, or lungs;
• Deep vein thrombosis; and/or,
• Chest pain.

Certain manufacturers of IVC blood clot filters knew about the defects in the IVC blood clot filter devices they made. Those companies intentionally hid the defects and sold the product to the public anyway.
