Event or Problem Description
Pt allegedly received an implant on (b)(6) 2010 via the right common femoral vein due to bilateral pulmonary embolus, upcoming surgery and severe uterine bleeding.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Exemption number e2016032.(b)(4).Investigation - evaluation: investigation is reopened due to additional information provided.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 'pulmonary embolism, migration, tilt, vena cava perforation, fracture, unable to retrieve, deep vein thrombosis'.Cook will reopen its investigation if further information is received warranting supplementation in accordance with 21 c.F.R.803.56.Manipulation in the area of the filter implant may cause migration or contribute to changes in the filter configuration and placement.Vena cava wall perforation is a known potential complication of vena cava filters.Both symptomatic and asymptomatic events have been reported.Among other causes, vena cava wall perforation may inadvertently be initiated by improper deployment, excessive force or manipulations near an implanted filter (e.G., a surgical procedure in the vicinity of a filter) and (or) procedures that involve other devices being passed through an in situ filter.There is a current debate in the published scientific literature on a differentiation between ivc wall perforation with and without clinical sequelae.E.G.Filter legs may be outside the contrast lumen on imaging without actually perforating the ivc wall (known as tenting) and with no clinical sequelae.In contrast, perforation of adjacent organs is reported with clinical sequelae.Filter fracture is a known potential complication of vena cava filters.Both symptomatic and asymptomatic events have been reported.Fracture of a filter leg can be due to repetitive motion on a filter leg in an unusual stressed position.Among other causes, filter fracture may be associated with a filter leg perforating the ivc, a filter leg being caught in a side branch (e.G.Renal vein), excessive force or manipulations near an implanted filter (e.G.A surgical procedure in the vicinity of a filter) and / or procedures that involve other devices being passed through an in situ filter.It has been reported that retrieval of a fractured filter or filter fragments using endovascular techniques is possible.Fracture of the wire is a known risk in relation to an implanted filter and reported in the published scientific literature.It is known from the published scientific literature that a filter fragment embolized into the heart or lung may be safely retrieved.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.Filter tilt is a known risk in relation to filter implant reported in the published scientific literature and may occur during placement or during implanting period.Pe is a known risk in relation to filter implant reported in the published scientific literature.Also, it is reported that the pulmonary embolism in some cases may originate from upper extremities instead of lower extremity veins.With all filters, there is some risk of further pulmonary embolism.Unknown if the reported peripheral vein thrombosis is directly related to the filter and unable to identify a corresponding failure mode at this time.No relevant notes found on work order or device lot.No other complaints on lot.Product is manufactured and inspected according to specifications.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.
