[Experiences with the Günther filter].
In the investigation 17 patients with lung embolism being cared for with a Guenther-filter were post-observed during a period up to two years. Early complications after the implantation of the Guenther-filter did not occur in any case. Late complications after the implantation of the Guenther-filter were dislocations, deformations of the filter and breaks of the spokes. In the result of the post-observation the Guenther-filter application despite its easy handling should be regarded very critically.
