This invention is a blood clot filter (10) which is collapsible toward a central longitudinal axis into a collapsed configuration for insertion into a blood vessel, and which is radially expandable outwardly from the longitudinal axis to an expanded configuration for contact with the inner wall of the blood vessel at two longitudinal spaced locations. A first plurality of spaced, elongate arms (26), in the expanded configuration of the filter (10), curve outwardly away from the longitudinal axis toward the leading end of the filter to form a first filter basket (14), and to center a hub (12) at the trailing end of the filter (14) within the vessel. A second plurality of spaced elongate legs (18) angle outwardly away from the longitudinal axis toward the leading edge of the filter (14) in the expanded configuration thereof to form a second filter basket (16) opening toward the leading end. To prevent longitudinal movement of the filter (10), the ends of these legs (26) include hooks (28), at least a portion of which is of a reduced cross-sectional area relative to the cross-sectional area of the adjacent leg to permit the hooks (28) to bend and straighten in response to the withdrawal force.
