Radiopaque Resorbable Inferior Vena Cava Filter Infused with Gold Nanoparticles

Abstract Failure to remove a retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filter can cause severe complications with high treatment costs. Polydioxanone (PPDO) has been shown to be a good candidate material for resorbable IVC filters. However, PPDO is radioluscent under conventional imaging modalities. Thus...
