Laparoscopic IVC Filter Retrieval Outcomes for 28 Patients

A retrospective case series of 28 patients who underwent surgical retrieval of inferior vena cava filters after failed or anticipated technically challenging endovascular retrieval. The study, authored by Peng Jiang, describes surgical techniques, perioperative outcomes, and a sensitivity analysis, with data last updated in June 2026. It reports a laparoscopic completion rate of 89.3% and an overall technical success rate of 96.4%.

Use Cases

• Analyzing surgical success rates based on reported laparoscopic completion and technical success rates.
• Studying perioperative complications based on described intraoperative injuries and mortality.
• Comparing surgical techniques for IVC filter retrieval based on the described methods and conversion to open surgery.

Strengths

• Specific outcome metrics are provided, including a laparoscopic completion rate of 89.3% and an overall technical success rate of 96.4%.
• The study includes a sensitivity analysis, as mentioned in the description.
• The data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 22.3 KB document, indicating a very limited scope and likely a summary report rather than raw patient-level data.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The authors note the study lacked a comparator group, limiting inferential conclusions.
