Article reviewed: behr, c.E.(2020).Minimal invasive removal of a dislocated stent for flow reduction of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.588-590.The subject article is a case report of a 59-year-old woman suffering from advanced liver cirrhosis who underwent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (tips) insertion in 2014 followed by revision in 2015.As a side effect she developed hepatic encephalopathy.Therefore, tips flow reduction using a covered stent and establishing an hourglass shape like configuration was performed in (b)(6) 2019.This complaint is based on information found within a article/literature review.There was no product that was available for evaluation, therefore a device evaluation could not be conducted and the complaint cannot be confirmed.The author of the article did not report any major adverse patient effects as result of this event.A device history record (dhr) review was unable to be performed as the device product part number and lot number was not provided within the article.Attempts to obtain the device lot information was conducted but unsuccessful.The hazardous situation/harm is addressed in the risk file and is operating within its risk profile.There was no evidence within the article that the device was the cause of the reported event.The complaint history review did not identify an adverse trend, therefore no escalation to capa process is required.Conclusion: although it was a case report of a single patient and physicians utilized modified deployment technique with under-expansion of the stent, however the dislocation and migration of the stent graft are a major concern.Getinge advanta v12 stent migrated that could have cause major complications.According to the report the advanta v12 stent was successfully removed with a salvage maneuver.The author did not report any adverse patient effects as result of this event.
