Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are medical devices that were designed to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs and causing a pulmonary embolism. However, the problem that many patients have faced with this device is that it can become so deeply embedded that they can no longer be removed. Other issues include left behind shards, punctured organs, and other serious injuries.

Dangers Lurking Behind IVC Filter Usage

Some of the most prominent IVC filter manufacturers are Bard, Cook, and Argon Medical Devices. We often see these companies focusing more on their revenue than the safety of their devices or the health of patients. If you have encountered any of these side effects, seek medical and legal help:

Fractured pieces that puncture the heart, lungs, or inferior vena cava
Migration of the device
Deep vein thrombosis
Punctured organs, veins, or tissues
Blood clots clogging the filter
Inability to remove the filter
Constant chest pain
Respiratory problems
Uncontrollable bleeding
Fluid forming around the heart (cardiac tamponade)
Shards left in the organs
Death

Others problems that patients have faced with IVC filters include migration of the device to other parts of the body and blood clots in the lower extremities. Inadequate devices and/or negligence in the manufacturing of the device, can often be blamed in these types of cases. Either the device has not been fully tested to discover safety issues or there is a deficiency in design or production.

In some cases, we may investigate further into whether or not these companies were aware of the dangers and whether or not they knowingly or negligently put patients at risk. Whatever the case may be, identifying negligence should be left up to the expertise of an Atlanta injury attorney who knows how to navigate complex medical device cases.

Title: Satisfied with My Outcome!

Client Description: Schneider &Hammers Trial Lawyers are wonderful! I would specifically like to thank Campbell Williamson for his thoroughness in explaining the litigation and mediation processes to me. (This was my first experience with ever having to deal with a car accident where I had to seek compensation for damages sustained.) Mr. Williamson went to bat for me up against the automobile insurance company and did a excellent and professional job. I am also satisfied with my outcome! I hope I never have to experience this situation ever again but if I do I will definitely give this law group a call!
