The Bard® Denali™ Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) study is a prospective, multi-center study which is intended to provide evidence of safety of the placement and retrieval of the Bard® Denali™ Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava Filter in subjects requiring IVC interruption to protect against pulmonary embolism (PE).

The Denali inferior vena cava filter is a mechanical filtration device consisting of two levels of filtration (upper arms, lower legs), a retrieval hook to allow for retrieval using a standard snare, cranial and caudal anchors, and penetration limiters. The Denali filter is made from a laser cut nitinol tube.

Technical Success of Placement
Technical success of filter placement is defined as the deployment of the filter such that the physician judges the location to be suitable to provide sufficient mechanical protection against Pulmonary Embolism.
Time frame: 6 months
Clinical Success of Placement
Is the one-sided lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the observed clinical success rate at least 80%? Clinical success of filter placement is defined as freedom from subsequent Pulmonary Embolism (PE), filter embolization, caval occlusion, filter and procedure related death, insertion adverse events (AEs), and technical failure of placement.
Time frame: 6 months
Technical Success of Retrieval
Technical success for retrieval is defined as retrieval of the filter such that the entire filter is retrieved intact.
Time frame: 24 months
Clinical Success of Retrieval
Clinical success for retrieval is defined as successful technical retrieval of the filter without retrieval complications requiring intervention. Only the 121 successful retrievals are counted here.
Time frame: 24 months
Rate of Recurring Pulmonary Embolism
Rate of recurrent Pulmonary Embolism while the filter is indwelling or one month post-retrieval.
Time frame: 24 months
Rate of New or Worsening Deep Vein Thrombosis
Rate of new or worsening Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) from placement to the six month follow-up. Worsening DVT is defined as an extension of existing DVT to a new venous segment on ultrasound in patients that had DVT at the baseline visit.
