Experience with the recovery filter as a retrievable inferior vena cava filter.
This study evaluates clinical experience with the Recovery filter as a retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filter. ⋯ Although all the filters were placed with the intention of being removed, a large percentage of filters were not retrieved. The Recovery filter was safe and effective in preventing PE when used as a retrievable IVC filter.

Comparative StudyComparison of recirculation percentage of the palindrome catheter and standard hemodialysis catheters in a swine model.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vivo recirculation of a new bi-directional dialysis catheter with a symmetric tip design and compare it to currently marketed staggered and split tip catheters. ⋯ Preliminary results in vivo indicate that the Palindrome catheter demonstrates minimal recirculation with reversal of the dialysis lines compared to currently marketed split tip and staggered tip catheters.
