(b)(4).Blank fields on this form indicate the information is unknown or unavailable or unchanged.The event is currently under investigation.A supplemental report will be provided upon conclusion.
 
Event Description
This additional information was received on 04/26/2017 and is as follows: patient alleges that filter was placed on (b)(6) 2007 via the femoral route for pulmonary embolism.Patient alleges that outcomes attributed to device include: the device is unable to be retrieved and thrombus in the filter.Patient also alleges complaints of intermittent chest pain.Patient alleges no attempts to retrieve device.
 
Manufacturer Narrative
It has not been possible to further investigate or evaluate this alleged event based on the limited information provided to date via the operative note stating 'unable to retrieve, thrombus in filter, chest pain'.Cook will reopen its investigation if further information is received warranting supplementation in accordance with 21 c.F.R.803.56.Filter retrieval is occasionally difficult.This is well-known from published scientific literature where filter retrievals are referred to as simple vs.Complex.Several case reports published in scientific literature describe complex cases with successful endovascular filter retrievals using additional, advanced techniques.Ivc thrombotic occlusion as an outcome for cook ivc filters is addressed in the published scientific literature.Ivc thrombotic occlusion is defined as the presence of an occluding thrombus in the ivc after filter insertion and documented by ultrasound (us), ct, mr imaging or venography; this may be symptomatic or asymptomatic.Unknown if the reported chest pain is directly related to the filter and unable to identify a corresponding failure mode at this time.No evidence to suggest that this device was not manufactured according to specifications and nothing indicates that the filter did not perform as intended, e.G.Intended for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (pe) via placement in the vena cava.
