What It Is

The Denali Filter System is an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter designed to prevent pulmonary embolism by capturing blood clots. It is intended for temporary or permanent placement in the IVC.

Clinical Applications

Commonly used in patients at risk of pulmonary embolism, particularly those with contraindications to anticoagulation therapy. It is deployed via femoral, jugular, or subclavian access.

Evidence Summary

The available literature includes three studies, with types ranging from case series to prospective studies. The studies were published between 2017 and 2022.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report challenges in filter retrieval due to tilt and attachment to the vessel wall. Radiographic findings have been associated with venous stenosis or occlusion.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include difficulty in retrieval due to filter tilt and vessel wall attachment. No specific adverse events were detailed in the provided studies.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by small sample sizes and lack of long-term outcome data. Further research is needed to assess long-term safety and efficacy.
