Bismuth Nanoparticle and Polyhydroxybutyrate Coatings Enhance the Radiopacity of Absorbable Inferior Vena Cava Filters for Fluoroscopy-Guided Placement and Longitudinal Computed Tomography Monitoring in Pigs.

ABSTRACT: Inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) constructed with poly-p-dioxanone (PPDO) are promising alternatives to metallic filters and their associated risks and complications. Incorporating high-Z nanoparticles (NPs) improves PPDO IVCFs' radiopacity without adversely affecting their safety or performance. However, increased radiopacity from these studies are insufficient for filter visualization during fluoroscopy-guided PPDO IVCF deployment. This study focuses on the use of bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs) as radiopacifiers to render sufficient signal intensity for the fluoroscopy-guided deployment and long-term CT monitoring of PPDO IVCFs. The use of polyhydroxybutyate (PHB) as an additional layer to increase the surface adsorption of NPs resulted in a 2-fold increase in BiNP coating (BiNP-PPDO IVCFs, 3.8%; BiNP-PPDO + PHB IVCFs, 6.2%), enabling complete filter visualization during fluoroscopy-guided IVCF deployment and, 1 week later, clot deployment. The biocompatibility, clot-trapping efficacy, and mechanical strength of the control PPDO (load-at-break, 6.23 ± 0.13 kg), BiNP-PPDO (6.10 ± 0.09 kg), and BiNP-PPDO + PHB (6.15 ± 0.13 kg) IVCFs did not differ significantly over a 12-week monitoring period in pigs. These results indicate that BiNP-PPDO + PHB can increase the radiodensity of a novel absorbable IVCF without compromising device strength. Visualizing the device under conventional radiographic imaging is key to allow safe and effective clinical translation of the device.

Project description:ImportanceDespite historically high rates of use, most inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are not retrieved. The US Food and Drug Administration safety communications recommended retrieval when the IVC filter is no longer indicated out of concern for filter-related complications. However, failure rates are high when using standard techniques for retrieval of long-dwelling filters, and until recently, there have been no devices approved for retrieval of embedded IVC filters.ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and success of excimer laser sheath-assisted retrieval of embedded IVC filters.Design, setting, and participantsA retrospective, multicenter, clinical cohort study of excimer laser sheath-assisted IVC filter retrievals from 7 US sites was conducted between March 1, 2012, and February 28, 2021, among 265 patients who underwent IVC filter retrieval using the laser. Patients were substratified between a high-volume single center and a multicenter data set. A blinded physician committee adjudicated reported complications and their association with use of the laser.ExposuresRetrieval of IVC filters using excimer laser sheath.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary safety end point was device-related major complication rate (Society of Interventional Radiology categories C to F, which included any adverse event associated with morbidity or disability that increases the level of care, results in hospital admission, or substantially lengthens the hospital stay). The primary success end point was technical success of IVC filter retrieval. The primary end points were compared with literature-derived, meta-analysis-suggested target performance goals.ResultsThe single-center experience included 139 participants (mean [SD] age, 52 [16] years; 78 female participants [56.1%]), and the multicenter experience included 126 participants (mean [SD] age, 52 [16] years; 75 female participants [59.5%]). The device-related major complication rate was 2.9% (4 of 139; 95% CI, 0.8%-7.2%; P = .001) for the single-center experience and 4.0% (5 of 126; 95% CI, 1.3%-9.0%; P = .01) for the multicenter experience, both of which were significantly lower than the primary safety performance goal (10%). No major complications were considered to be definitively associated with use of the laser. The technical success rate was 95.7% (133 of 139; 95% CI, 90.8%-98.4%; P = .007) for the single-center experience and 95.2% (120 of 126; 95% CI, 89.9%-98.2%; P = .02) for the multicenter experience, both of which were significantly higher than the primary performance goal (89.4%).Conclusions and relevanceThis cohort study demonstrated high technical success and low complication rates of excimer laser sheath-assisted retrieval of embedded IVC filters in centers with variable case volume and experience, which suggests a wide applicability of the technique with proper training. The excimer laser sheath offers physicians a valuable tool for retrieval of challenging embedded IVC filters.
