Abstract

Purpose

To compare the Celect and Denali filters in terms of complex filter retrieval and indwelling complications after a 2-month indwelling time.

Materials and Methods

In this prospective, randomized trial, 153 subjects were assessed for eligibility between May 2016 and July 2018. A total of 136 participants were randomly assigned to receive either Celect (n = 68) or Denali (n = 68) filter placement in the infrarenal inferior vena cava. Tilt angles at placement and retrieval and rates of overall filter retrieval, indwelling complication, and complex retrieval were compared.

Results

Of 136 participants (mean age, 62 ± 12.8 years, 55 male), 24 (17.6%) were lost to follow-up. The mean indwelling time of filter was 60.4 ± 7 days and there was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics between the two groups. Filter retrieval was successful in all participants (112/112, 100%). Significantly higher rates of filter tilt > 15° (n = 8) and strut penetration (n = 14) were found with the Celect filter than with the Denali filter (1 significant tilt and 1 penetration) (P = 0.033 and 0.001, respectively). No filter fractures were observed and there was no significant difference in tip embedment, filter fracture, filter migration, or mean fluoroscopy times. There were 3 cases of complex retrieval (1 for Denali vs. 2 for Celect, P = 0.500), for which the loop-snare technique was used.

Conclusion

Denali filters demonstrated significantly lower rates of tilt angle > 15° and strut penetration. However, there was no significant difference in the complex filter retrieval rate between the Celect and Denali filters.
