You may have the right to file an IVC filter lawsuit of your own if:
Is IVC Filter the Right Choice for You? A retrievable inferior vena cava filter ( IVC filter) is a small, device designed to stop a blood clot from traveling to the lungs, commonly known as a pulmonary embolism. While deep vein thrombosis- a blood clot in the legs-develops, the filters catch them. The device looks like a metal cage.
What are the symptoms of a broken IVC filter? Leg pain from the device is often due to a blockage. When several clots become trapped in the filter, clot formation down the IVC can cause painful debilitating swelling in the legs. Other signs and symptoms of a problem might include darkening of the skin and ulceration in the lower extremities.

An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a small device that can stop blood clots from going up into the lungs. The inferior vena cava is a large vein in the middle of your body. The device is put in during a short surgery. Veins are the blood vessels that bring oxygen-poor blood and waste products back to the heart.
For a hemodialysis catheter, the appropriate code is Z49. 01 (Encounter for fitting and adjustment of extracorporeal dialysis catheter). For any other CVC, code Z45. 2 (Encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device) should be assigned.
