Bard IVC Filter Class Action Lawsuit Lawyer Attorney

The Bard IVC (inferior vena cava) Filter is used when anticoagulation drugs have little effect in protecting patients who have a venous thromboembolic disease or in prophylactic use for patients with a high risk of pulmonary embolism.

These filters can help prevent blood clots from moving through the body by acting a type of trap for a pre-determined size of blood clot.

The Bard IVC Filter is one of many types and brands on the market today, but it is the Bard type that is of current focus.

IVC filters are inserted into large blood veins sometimes surgically or through the use of a catheter. Many of these IVC filters are permanently installed, while a few brands are called retrievable.

• Types of Injuries from a Bard IVC Filter:
• Breaking parts
• Tearing or punctures of internal arteries and or organs
• Death
• Pulmonary Embolus
• Pain in the chest area

Both Bard IVC Filters are of the retrievable type, and on average were removed after being in the body for a couple weeks. If they are in place longer some may become overgrown by cells from the IVC wall and there is an increased risk of IVC injury if the filter is dislodged.

There have been reported cases of injuries from the use of both Bard IVC Filter types.

• Bard G2 IVC
• Bard Recovery IVC filter. (no longer being sold)

Because of the possibility of the Bard Recovery IVC filter parts breaking off and moving through the body (at times requiring open heart surgery) there may be a potential class action lawsuit associated with these Bard Recovery IVC filter injuries.
