ABSTRACT:
A flexible vena cava filter comprises a flexible stent having a plurality of flexible wire segments attached across the ends of the stent. The filter is resiliently compressible for percutaneous insertion into a fluid passageway and expands against the passageway upon placement therein. The filter includes different levels of filtration.
