| titanium greenfield ivc filter | <radiology> Advantages: low profile: 14.3 Fr introducer sheath, percutaneous placement, lack of ferromagnetic properties, low recurrent PE rate (3-5%), low IVC thrombosis rate (1-9%), successful placement (97%) disadvantages: maximum caval diameter = 28mm, tilting/leg assymetry, difficult placement from left femoral approach see also: indications (12 Dec 1998) |

| Greenfield filter | A multistrutted spring-styled filter usually placed in the inferior vena cava to prevent venous emboli from reaching the pulmonary circulation from the lower extremity. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bird's nest ivc filter | <radiology> Introduced 1982; Cook Inc., Bloomington, IN advantages, low profile: 14.5 Fr introducer sheath, low recurrent PE rates (1.1 - 2.7% by clinical history), low IVC thrombosis rates (2.9 - 5.0% by clinical history), placement in large diameter IVCs (not greater than40mm), free-form configuration does not require centreing in IVC disadvantages: stainless steel: ferromagnetic = magnetic susceptibility artifact, more operator dependent, difficult to place in short IVCs (need about 7cm for proper placement), prolapse of filter wires (? clinical significance) see also: indications (12 Dec 1998) |
| vena-tech ivc filter | <radiology> Introduced as LGM (L.G. Medical, France), 1985; FDA aprroval 1991: Vena-Tech, Evanston, IL, 6-leg conical design with 6 stabilizing side bars, biocompatible metal known as Phynox (cobalt,chromium,iron,nickel,moly) Efficacy, recurrent PE: 2-6%, IVC occlusion: 8-24%, migration: 0-12% Advantages, ease of placement, excellent clot trapping efficiency, low profile, lacks ferromagnetic activity: minimal MRI artifacts Disadvantages, incomplete opening (6-19%): decreases clot-trapping efficiency, increased incidence from IJ approach, decreased with rapid deployment, increased IVC thrombosis rates: 8% initial reports; 22-24% on subsequent reports by ultrasound/MRI: 2-19% clinically symptomatic (12 Dec 1998) |
| simon nitinol ivc filter | <radiology> Introduced 1990; Nitinol Medical Technologies, Woburn, MA. BARD, thermal memory alloy:titanium and nickel;, straightened form at cool temperatures (4-10C), reforms into predetermined filter shape at body temperatures efficacy, recurrent PE: 0 - 4.8%, IVC thrombosis: 7 - 11% (by clinical symptoms), access site thrombosis: 2 - 10% advantages, narrow introducer sheath (9 Fr), largest choice of access: brachial or left CFV approach without difficulty, only mild MRI artifacts disadvantages, IVC thrombosis: symptomatic occlusion rates higher than reported wtih Greenfield or bird's nest filters, caval penetration: 1 - 33%, caudal drop: exact filter location difficult to predict (12 Dec 1998) |
| Greenfield | L., American surgeon who designed the Greenfield filter. See: Greenfield filter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nickel titanium | <dentistry> An especially strong orthodontic wire which allows for rapid tooth movement. (08 Jan 1998) |
| titanium | <chemistry, element> An elementary substance found combined in the minerals manaccanite, rutile, sphene, etc, and isolated as an infusible iron-gray amorphous powder, having a metallic luster. It burns when heated in the air. Atomic weight: 48.1 Abbreviation: Ti Origin: NL, fr. L. Titani or Titanes, Gr, the sons of the earth. (30 Mar 1998) |
| titanium dioxide | TiO2;contains not less than 99.0% and not more than 100.5% of TiO2, calculated on the dry basis; used in creams and powders as a protectant against external irritations and solar rays. (05 Mar 2000) |
| azygos continuation of interrupted ivc | <radiology> IVC interrupted, hepatic portion absent, joins azygos or hemiazygos, hepatic veins empty directly into RA, associated with polysplenia (12 Dec 1998) |
| IVC | <abbreviation> Inferior vena cava. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absolute filter | <apparatus> A fine-pored, steam-sterilisable filter that is used to trap airborne microorganisms. The filter's pores are about 2 micrometres in diameter, smaller than the particles it is designed to remove. (06 May 1997) |
| bandpass filter | A device that allows a limited range of frequencies to pass. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Berkefeld filter | A bacterial filter used in 1891, made of earth known as Kieselguhr taken from the name of the mine in Hanover, Germany, from which the earth was found. Ground water at this mine had a clear blue colour suggesting the use of the earth as a filter. Origin: Berkefield, name of owner of the mine from which the material to make the filter was taken (05 Mar 2000) |
| bird's nest filter | A wire mesh vena cava filter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena cava filter | A filter used for interruption of IVC to prevent pulmonary embolism; e.g., Greenfield filter. Synonym: venocaval filter. (05 Mar 2000) |
