Key result
Retrievable IVC filters achieve ~98% deployment success with rare complications, while Denali maximizes retrieval.
Why the study?
Literature evidence assessing clinical outcomes of retrievable inferior vena cava filters for venous thromboembolic diseases was needed.
What are the deployment success, retrieval success, and complication rates of retrievable inferior vena cava filters in patients with venous thromboembolic diseases?
Systematic Review (n=11,413)
What are the deployment success, retrieval success, and complication rates of retrievable inferior vena cava filters in patients with venous thromboembolic diseases?
Retrievable inferior vena cava filters have high deployment success and low complication rates, with the Denali filter showing the highest retrieval success.

Supports retrievable IVC filter use in VTE; extends comparative data favoring specific devices like Denali.
Aim:To identify literature evidence assessing retrievable inferior vena cava filter (rIVCF) for venous thromboembolic diseases.Methods:A systematic literature search was conducted to identify relevant references from the mainstay English and Chinese bibliographic databases (search period: January 2003 to October 2019).Results:80 original studies with 11,413 patients were included in this review. The success rates of deploying the six types of rIVCFs ranged from 98.4 to 100.0%. Denali had the highest retrieval success rate (95.4–97.6%). The incidence rates of fracture and perforation associated with retrieving the six rIVCFs were less than 2%.Conclusion:The approved rIVCF had comparable clinical profiles, except that Denali was easier to be retrieved than other rIVCF.

Liu et al. (2022) conducted a systematic review in Venous thromboembolic diseases (n=11,413). Retrievable inferior vena cava filters (rIVCF) vs. Other types of rIVCFs was evaluated on Deployment success rate, retrieval success rate, and incidence of fracture and perforation. Retrievable inferior vena cava filters had deployment success rates of 98.4-100.0% and retrieval complication rates <2%, with the Denali filter showing the highest retrieval success (95.4-97.6%).
