Considerations For IVC Filter Patients As IVC Filter Lawsuit Numbers Climb

June 21, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on pre-insertion steps regarding the use of an IVC filter. According to the Department of Surgery at the University of Michigan, patients should expect a few things before getting a filter inserted. The department advises that patients tell their doctors about any kidney problems or reactions to iodine-containing foods or chemicals. In addition, the department states that patients should expect to have imaging studies, blood tests, and an electrocardiogram (ECG) before the procedure. Patients will also be expected to sign a consent form for angioplasty, bypass surgery, and angiography in case problems arise during the procedure and emergency surgery is needed.

For many IVC filter patients, trouble arose after the filter was inserted. Many patients have alleged that the filters have caused serious adverse side effects that have altered their quality of life. In many cases, these patients have filed lawsuits against companies such as C.R. Bard and Cook Medical. One South Dakota plaintiff even claimed that her C.R. Bard device ended up being embedded in her internal organs and that she continues to suffer injuries because of it. Hers and many other lawsuits like it are claiming that these companies knowingly marketed defective devices. Similar cases have been combined into MDLs in Arizona and Indiana and now number in the hundreds.
