An estimated 350,000 Americans have undergone an inferior vena cava (IVC) surgery, allowing a doctor to insert a filter into their blood vessel that’s designed to prevent pulmonary embolism. For most, it’s a procedure that goes off without a hitch. For a notable minority of several hundred, however, complications following an IVC surgery have resulted in severe injury and even death.
Whether your IVC complication is the result of someone’s carelessness and whether you may recover under negligence or product liability theories are important questions to ask. Some experts, in fact, believe that IVC manufacturers understood the risks associated with their product better than the doctors and consumers who used them. If that’s the case for you, you may have a valid legal claim.
