Interim or Final Data Summary |
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled |
941 patients including 492 primary augmentation, 156 revision- augmentation, 225 primary reconstruction and 68 revision-reconstruction.

Actual Number of Sites Enrolled |
47

Patient Follow-up Rate |
The follow-up rate at 10 year was highest in the reconstruction group and lowest in the revision-augmentation group. Specifically, the follow-up rate at Year 10 by cohorts were as follows: 66% in the augmentation cohort, 55% in revision-augmentation, 81% in the reconstruction and 77% in the revision-reconstruction.

Final Safety Findings |
The most commonly reported complications vary by the indication group. The most commonly reported complications at 10 years by indication group are as follow: Augmentation cohort: Capsular contracture (9.2%), implant malposition (4.7%), breast pain (4.5%) and swelling (4.0%); Revision-augmentation cohort: Capsular contracture (11.9%), implant malposition (9.1%), asymmetry (6.9%) and breast pain (5.2%); Reconstruction cohort: Capsular contracture (14.5%), asymmetry (12.4%), breast pain (8.2%) and wrinkling/rippling (6.2%); Revision-reconstruction: Capsular contracture (26.8%), asymmetry (17.4%), wrinkling/rippling (12.8%) and infection (8.5%);
The overall implant rupture rates at 10 years by patient were 11.9% in the augmentation, 13.0% in the revision-augmentation, 8.5% in the reconstruction, and 9.7% in the revision-reconstruction cohorts.
The rate of any reoperation by 10 years post-implant was highest in the reconstruction cohort (54.6%), followed by revision cohorts (48.5% in the revision-reconstruction and 47.3% in the revision- augmentation cohorts), and lowest in the augmentation cohort (29.7%). The most frequently reported reason for reoperation varied with the indication. The most common primary reasons for reoperation were asymmetry, capsular contracture, device rupture, implant malposition, need for biopsy, patient request for style/size change, hematoma/seroma, infection, scarring and ptosis.
The incidence of breast implant removal by 10 years post-implant was highest in the revision- reconstruction cohort (42.4%), followed by reconstruction cohort (38.3%), revision-augmentation cohort (31.0%) and the augmentation cohort (19.6%). The most common reasons for replacement/removal vary depending on the indication group. The most common reasons for implant replacement and removals are as follows: asymmetry, capsular contracture, device rupture, implant malposition and patient request for style/size change.
|
Final Effect Findings |
The majority of the patients and physicians were satisfied with the surgical outcome at 10 years. In the augmentation cohort, the patient and physician satisfaction was 95% and 96%, respectively, 86% and 85% in the augmentation-revision cohort, 92% and 91% in the reconstruction cohort, 78% and 80% in the revision-reconstruction cohort.

Study Strengths & Weaknesses |
One of the study strengths is that the study was a prospective, multicenter study that provides long term data up to 10 years on the safety and effectiveness of the device. The weaknesses of the study were the lack of a comparison group and lack of statistical power to detect rare events due to the small sample size.
|
Recommendations for Labeling Changes |
Yes. The labeling will be updated based on the safety and effectiveness results reported in the final PAS report since these results will provide patients and physicians with long term data (10-years) on the performance of the device.
