Abstract

The Bird's Nest Filter femoral catheter set has proven to be too short in some patients to permit placement in close proximity to the renal veins via the left femoral vein approach. The use of the longer, but otherwise identical Bird's Nest Filter jugular catheter set via the left femoral vein eliminates this problem.
