The Cook Celect Vena Cava Filter was cleared by the FDA via the 510(k) pathway on April 20, 2007. It is manufactured by William Cook Europe Aps and classified as a Class 2 medical device.

What It Is

The Cook Celect Vena Cava Filter is a retrievable device designed to prevent pulmonary embolism by capturing blood clots in the inferior vena cava. It is intended for temporary or permanent placement in patients at risk of thromboembolic events.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in patients who are at risk of developing pulmonary embolism, particularly when anticoagulation therapy is contraindicated or ineffective. It is often employed in trauma patients, those undergoing surgery, or individuals with a history of deep vein thrombosis.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes a mix of retrospective studies and clinical trials, with a total of 6 studies reviewed. The studies span from 2009 to the present, focusing on the device's performance, retrievability, and safety.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report a 100% success rate in filter insertion and a 49.6% overall retrieval rate, with a 93.4% success rate from attempted retrievals. These findings suggest the device is effective in its primary function, with high retrieval success when attempted.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include a low overall complication rate, but there are concerns regarding hook endothelialisation, which may impact retrieval. No major adverse events were reported in the studies reviewed.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the retrospective nature of some studies and the lack of long-term follow-up data. Further research is needed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of the device, particularly regarding complications related to endothelialisation.
