Fracture and migration of Celect inferior vena cava filters: a retrospective review of 741 consecutive implantations.
To determine the incidence of fracture and migration of the Celect inferior vena cava (IVC) filter at a single tertiary-care center. ⋯ No fracture of a Celect filter was observed in this large cohort over a relatively short follow-up interval. The results also suggest that the Celect filter has an adequate securing mechanism to prevent distant en-bloc or significant intracaval migration.

Downstaging disease in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma outside of Milan criteria: strategies using drug-eluting bead chemoembolization.
To assess downstaging rates in patients with United Network for Organ Sharing stage T3N0M0 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with doxorubicin-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization to meet Milan criteria for transplantation. ⋯ T3N0M0 HCC treatment with DEB chemoembolization has a high likelihood (77%) of downstaging the disease to meet Milan criteria.

Comparative StudyComplications of Celect, Günther tulip, and Greenfield inferior vena cava filters on CT follow-up: a single-institution experience.
To evaluate and compare the rates of complications on follow-up computed tomography (CT) studies of patients with Celect, Günther Tulip, and Greenfield inferior vena cava (IVC) filters. ⋯ No significant difference was observed in IVC perforation rate between Celect and Tulip filters. Greenfield filters had a significantly lower rate of IVC perforation than Celect and Tulip filters. Higher IVC perforation rates were observed in women and patients with a history of malignancy.
