Simon nitinol vena caval filters were placed percutaneously in 20 patients. Follow-up (average, 14 months) data were available for 16 patients, and four patients were lost to follow-up. There were no proved or suspected cases of pulmonary embolism after filter insertion. Complications encountered included caval penetration (n = 5, one acute and four at follow-up), caval thrombus (n = 4, two determined radiologically and two clinically), postplacement deep venous thrombosis (n = 2, one radiologic and one clinical), filter migration (n = 1), and delayed fracture of a filter leg (n = 2). Although no deaths or significant morbidity resulted from any complication, the relatively high complication rate, especially of significant caval penetration (documented in 25% of filter insertions), merits continued short- and long-term assessment of patient status after filter placement.
