The Bard Vena Cava Filter is implanted in patients to capture blood clots. This is used for patients who cannot tolerate blood thinners. The blood clot is captured to avoid traveling to the barain or lungs and causing a stroke of pulmonary embolism. Recent studies show high rates of IVC filter failures and serious injury to the patient.
