Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter performance and failure is greatly influenced by IVC hemodynamics, but few studies to date have taken into account the compressive effects of diaphragmatic motion on IVC collapse in the filter region.  This work seeks to develop an experimental platform that can reproduce the in vivo deformation of the IVC caused by dynamic diaphragmatic compression under multiple physiological conditions. This model will be validated using a computational model of the IVC.
