Filter tilting and retrievability of the Celect and Denali inferior vena cava filters using propensity score-matching analysis.
Purpose: To assess the filter tilting and outcomes of the Celect and Denali inferior vena cava (IVC) filters by using a propensity score-matching analysis.
Materials and methods: From January 2009 to November 2017, 181 Celect and 58 Denali filters were inserted in our institution. To assess filter tilt, filter tip abutment or penetration of the IVC wall, and retrieval outcome, independent variables, including age, sex, IVC long diameter, IVC angulation, and proximity of the filter to renal vein insertion, were entered in the propensity model. Comparative analyses were performed before and after propensity score-matching analysis.
Results: Thirty-one patients were enrolled in each group for the final propensity score-matching analysis. The mean filter indwelling time was not significantly different between the groups (26 ± 22 days in Celect and 27 ± 23 days in Denali). After propensity score adjustment, the mean degree of filter tilt was higher in the Celect group (9.5° ± 7.4° vs 5.6° ± 6.7°). Filter tip abutment or penetration of the IVC wall was more common in the Celect group (39% [12/31, abutment: 12, penetration: 0] vs 13% [4/31, abutment: 3, penetration: 1]). The retrieval outcomes were not significantly different before and after propensity score adjustment in both filters.
Conclusion: The Denali IVC filter showed less tilt and low rate of filter tip abutment to the IVC wall after propensity score-matching analysis. The retrieval rate was not significantly different in the short-term filter indwelling setting. More large-scale, long-term follow-up studies are needed to verify these results.
