Manufacturer Narrative

Since the literature described "double-pigtail (84.2%), 7.0 fr of width (52.5%), and 7 cm of length (64.2%) were the most frequent chosen stent features", olympus selected "pbd-1033-0707" as a representative product.The device was not returned for analysis.The literature article is attached for additional information.Https://doi.Org/10.1080/00365521.2022.2164210 the investigation is ongoing, and a supplemental report will be submitted upon completion of the investigation or if any additional information is provided.

Event Description

Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "real-life patency of plastic biliary stents in the pandemic era: is stent removal after 6 months safe and effective?" this retrospective study analyze the outcomes of patients who had delayed plastic biliary stent removal following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) in the pandemic era.A total of 120 patients were included in the study.The mean time to stent removal was 4.9 ± 3.1 months (range 2-19): 3.5 ± 1.3 months (range 2-6) for cases with early removal and 8.6 ± 3.1 months (range 7-19) for delayed removal.Stent removal was successfully performed in all cases.Cases with early stent removal presented more frequently benign biliary strictures as the indication for plastic biliary stent insertion (25.9 vs 7.7%; p = 0.02).The delayed and early adverse events were statistically significant, specifically stent migration (20.5 vs 11.1%, p = 0.17), stent dysfunction (17.9 vs 13.6%, p = 0.53), obstructive jaundice (2.6 vs 0.0%, p = 0.33), acute cholangitis (10.3 vs 13.6%, p = 0.77), acute pancreatitis (0.0 vs 1.2%, p = 1.0), hospitalization (17.9 vs 14.8%, p = 0.66), or biliary pathology-related mortality (2.6 vs 1.2%, p = 0.55).In conclusion, delayed plastic biliary stent removal does not seem to have a negative impact on patients¿ outcomes.The plastic biliary stents referenced in this literature are either an olympus single use biliary drainage stent v - (pbd-1033-0707) or a non-olympus endo-flex stent.Stent dysfunction was defined as the presence of two of the three following criteria: (a) ultrasound showing new dilatation of intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts; (b) bilirubin 2 mg/dl with an increase 1mg/dl compared to the value after initial successful drainage, or elevation of alkaline phosphatase/gamma-glutamyl transferase to more than twice the upper limit of normal values with an increase of at least 30 u/l; (c) signs of cholangitis (fever, abdominal pain, and leukocyte count >10.000/ll or c-reactive protein >20mg/dl).Seven patients were hospitalized for stent dysfunction.One patient with severe acute cholangitis whose indication for stent placement was bile duct stones died.Type of adverse events/number of patients: event 1: stent migration - 17 patients.Event 2: stent dysfunction - 18 patients.Event 3: obstructive jaundice - 1 patient.Event 4: acute cholangitis - 15 patients.Event 5: acute pancreatitis / post-ercp pancreatitis - 1 patient.Event 6: post-ercp bleeding - 3 patients.Event 7: biliary pathology-related mortality - 2 patients.Event 8: death of non-biliary related causes 18 patients.*for event 8, there is no relevance with the olympus device because it was a non-biliary cause death and was excluded from the study analysis.This literature article requires 3 reports.The related patient identifiers are as follows: (b)(6) - to capture event 1.(b)(6) - to capture events 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.(b)(6) - to capture event 7.This medwatch report is for patient identifier (b)(6) (event 7).
