Why the study?
IVC diameters vary among patients, which may directly impact the hemodynamic properties and performance of implanted IVC filters, but research on this issue is lacking.
Does inferior vena cava diameter affect the hemodynamic characteristics of an implanted VenaTech convertible filter?

IVC diameter variation may alter filter hemodynamics; leaves open patient-specific modeling before clinical adoption.
Does inferior vena cava diameter affect the hemodynamic characteristics of an implanted VenaTech convertible filter?
Computational fluid dynamics modeling demonstrates that inferior vena cava diameter significantly alters the hemodynamic profile and thrombogenic potential of implanted filters.
