Comparative StudyIndwelling and Retrieval Complications of Denali and Celect Infrarenal Vena Cava Filters.
To compare indwelling and retrieval complications of Denali and Celect filters placed in the infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC). ⋯ This study suggests that Denali filters are associated with lower incidences of strut penetration and filter tilt as well as shorter fluoroscopy time at retrieval compared with Celect filters when placed in the infrarenal IVC.

A 16-F Sheath with Endobronchial Forceps Improves Reported Retrieval Success of Long-Dwelling "Closed Cell" Inferior Vena Cava Filter Designs.
To report results of a 16-F sheath/endobronchial forceps combination in retrieval of "closed cell" inferior vena cava (IVC) filter designs with prolonged dwell times of ≥ 60 days. ⋯ A high rate of retrieval for closed cell long-dwelling strut and wall-embedded filters may be achieved using a 16-F sheath/endobronchial forceps combination.
