Additional Manufacturer Narrative
As reported in a research article, flow remained around the device after deployment so the device was retrieved and replaced with a larger occluder.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.Literature attachment: article title "risk factors associated with device embolisation or malposition during transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus".
Event or Problem Description
The article, ¿risk factors associated with device embolisation or malposition during transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus¿, was reviewed.The article presented a case study of a 1 month old patient weighing 2.8 kg with rubella.It was reported that on an unknown date, a 5-6mm amplatzer piccolo occluder was chosen for implant to treat patent ductus arteriosus (pda) that was sized 4.5 mm.During deployment, there was significant residual flow with the device and a decision was made to retrieve the device and replace with a 6-4mm non-abbott conventional duct occluder.The article concluded device embolisation complicates 4% of transcatheter duct closures, with need for surgery in one-fifth of them.Larger ducts with high pulmonary artery pressures in younger and smaller infants are more often associated with device embolisation.Tubular ducts are more prone for embolisation compared to usual conical ducts.Softer vascular plugs are often associated with embolisations.Intentional device undersizing to avoid vascular obstruction in small patients is a frequent risk factor for embolisation.Precise echocardiographic measurements, correct occluder choice, proper technique and additional care in patients with high pulmonary artery pressures are mandatory to minimise embolisations.[the primary and secondary author was kothandam sivakumar, madras medical mission, 4a dr jj nagar, mogappair, chennai 600089, india, with corresponding email drkumarsiva@hotmail.Com].
