Trial Outcomes & Findings for VenaTech Convertible Vena Cava Filter U.S. Multi-Center Clinical Trial (NCT NCT01112917)

NCT ID: NCT01112917

Last Updated: 2016-07-11

Results Overview

Technical success is defined as filter conversion without the loss of filter head components in the vasculature or incomplete opening of filtering legs. Further, in the analysis of the data, the sponsor did not count any filters as a 'technically' successful conversion when the operator was unable to snare the filter hook during an attempted conversion.

Participant Flow

All participants were first implanted with the VenaTech Convertible Filter. After the implantation, the study investigators assessed whether participants were eligible for conversion of the filter or required permanent filtration. If a subject was not eligible for conversion at 6-months, they were considered a permanent filtration subject.
