Inferior Vena Cava Filters
LAWYER
DO YOU BELIEVE YOU BECAME ILL DUE TO INFERIOR VENA CAVA FILTERS?
We represent victims nationwide against the makers of inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filters. An IVC filter is implanted to catch blood clots, but the devices were so poorly designed and manufactured that they are more likely to fracture, perforate and break apart.
In some cases, when the devices break, pieces can travel through the body, damaging the heart, lungs, and other organs. As a result, victims are suffering various internal injuries and often require surgery.
The two primary manufacturers of IVC (inferior vena cava) filters are Bard and Cook. Both companies produced IVC filters that are defective and dangerous.
Complications can include:
- Access site bleeding
- Misplacement
- Migration to the heart or lungs
- Failure to open
- Filter fracture
- Infection
- Vein perforation
- Blockage of blood flow causing clots.
If you or a loved one has experienced complications from an IVC filter, contact
Wolf Edlund, P.C.
immediately.
