Event or Problem Description

|
Microvascular plugs 9q (mvp-9q) were used to create an animal model during an animal study.During procedure, 2 mvps were used and deployed in a porcine clot model, and the mvps were used to block venous flow from side branches.It was reported that one of the mvps did not appear to fully expand.We did not notice this when we implanted mvp, but later on necropsy, we saw that it had migrated to the lung and did not appear to be fully expanded.During investigation of the venographic images, and in hindsight it does not appear to be fully expanded even on day of implant.This was not typical use for the mvp and not per ifu (in an animal and blocking venous flow).A non-medtronic 5fr catheter was used.Dimensions of the vessel plugged with the mvp unknown, but it was a large medial pelvic tributary originating from the external iliac vein.The external iliac diameter was 14.0mm (major), 9.6mm (minor).Ten days lat er when noticed, mvp was explanted.The mvp was intended to be used to block vein branches in order to create stasis for dvt clot formation and as such was not used per the ifu.
