As reported in a research article, an amplatzer vascular plug ii was used off-label to attempt to close a patent ductus arteriosus and the device embolized out of the defect.A more comprehensive assessment could not be performed as the event was non-contemporaneously reported through a literature review and no device was received for analysis.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with regards to manufacture, design, or labeling.
