Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The SENTRY Bioconvertible Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter has been developed to provide temporary protection against pulmonary embolism (PE).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a prevalent disease with a significant morbidity and mortality. The estimated annual incidence is 1.45 per 1,000 patients, which translates to 1,350,000 cases per year in the United States. It is estimated that PE results in more than 200,000 deaths per year.

Currently there are two types of commercially available IVC filters utilized to prevent PE; permanent and retrievable. Both types of filters have documented limitations, such as tilting, migration, fracture, embolization and late deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Retrievable filters were developed to avert some of the late consequences of permanent filter, but in practice there is low success with eventual removal. In a series of 37 clinical studies, with a total of 6,834 patients the mean retrieval rate was 34%.

There are numerous design features of the SENTRY IVC Filter that are intended to improve on the limitations of available IVC filters and obviate the need for retrieval.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SENTRY IVC Filter

Intervention Type DEVICE

The SENTRY IVC Bioconvertible Filter is designed to provide temporary protection to subjects at transient, high risk of pulmonary embolism. Following conclusion of the protection period The SENTRY filter bioconverts, and filter arms withdraw towards the IVC wall for incorporation; obviating the need for retrieval.
