What is the VenaTech LGM IVC Filter?

VenaTech LGM IVC filters were designed as a permanent vena cava filter to prevent blood clots and pulmonary embolism. These Bard IVC filters have been discontinued; however, thousands of patients remain implanted with the potentially dangerous device.

These retrievable IVC filters were first developed and released in France by LG Medical; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the filter in 1989.
