About this study

Official title: Inferior Vena Cava Retrievable Filters: Spanish Register (REFiVeC)

Spanish registry of retrievable vena cava filters.

This registry is sponsored by the Spanish Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (SERVEI) and conducted by the Research Group GITMI (Group of Research in Minimally Invasive Techniques) of the University of Zaragoza (Spain).

A software tool hosted on the official website of SERVEI and the journal Intervencionismo will be used for data collection a(https://estudios.watsoncme.com).

Read the detailed description

This is an prospective observational study of patients that have been implanted a inferior vena cava filter with intention to be retrieved.

Patients are recruited when the filter is implanted, and the investigators observe when is it finally retrieved (dwell time), if retrieval is possible or not, and if there is any complication at the retrieval of the filter.

Being tested
Inferior vena cava filter placement and retrieval

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Inferior vena cava filter placement and retrievalOther

    There are really no interventions in this study. This is an prospective observational study of patients that have been implanted a inferior vena cava filter with intention to be retrieved.

    Patients are recruited when the filter is implanted, and the investigators observe when is it finally retrieved, and if there is any complication at the retrieval of the filter.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Success of retrieval

    The primary outcome of this study is to verify if the filter can be retrieved on the scheduled day of retrieval (yes/no).

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Dwell time

    Final dwell time of the filter (number of days from implantation to retrieval). It will be compared to the expected dwell time at the time of implantation.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Complications in retrieval

    Difficulties in retrieval and complications at the time of retrieval will be specifically recorded.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Overall adverse events

    Registry of adverse events from filter implantation until retrieval.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vena Cava Filters, run by Group of Research in Minimally Invasive Techniques at 6 sites in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Success of retrieval (time frame: 12 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 4 May 2020.
