About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multi-center Study Using a Novel Algorithm to Improve the Retrieval Rate of Inferior Vena Cava Filters Placed Across the US

Since 2003, that the first retrievable IVC filter was introduced in the U.S,improvements have been made in the filter design to resolve problems of structural integrity and increase the ability to remove the filter after longer periods of time.The FDA issued a communication in August 2010 advising physicians to remove retrievable filters whenever possible and updated that letter again in May 2014 due to concerns that these retrievable IVC filters, intended for short-term placement, are not always removed once a patient's risk for PE subsides. Known long term risks associated with IVC filters include but are not limited to lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT), filter fracture, filter migration, filter embolization and IVC perforation.

Read the detailed description

Several studies have shown that approximately 80% to 85% of optional IVC filters are never retrieved. The successful removal of retrievable filters requires diligent patient follow-up and interdepartmental cooperation, and even so, successful removal is not always possible. American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines for IVCF placement indications advocates a close, structured follow-up of retrievable IVCFs to improve filter retrieval rates.

Using a retrieval algorithm and pathway program, a score will trigger a secure email and text messages sent to both physician and patient at different timelines, for follow up so as to retrieve filter placed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thromboembolism, and Pulmonary Embolism,, run by Heart and Vascular Outcomes Research Institute.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Uchenna N Onyeachom (uonyeachom@hvori.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Filter retrieval rate (time frame: 24 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Mar 2015.
