Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient, a (b)(6) male, underwent a right carotid endarterectomy at a cardiovascular facility on (b)(6) 2017.The ecm patch was soaked in a saline solution for 1-2 minutes exactly.A 2-4 week follow up was completed and no complications were observed.At a later date (specific date unknown) the patient had an ultrasound/duplex study completed when he was going to have a colonoscopy with another physician.It was noted at that time that there was an aneurysm present at the site of ecm patch implant and the patient was referred back to the original cardiovascular facility.A ct angiogram was performed on (b)(6) 2018 and it was confirmed that the patient had an aneurysm at the site of the implanted ecm patch device and the size was approximately 3cm x 2cm x 2cm circular.Corrective surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2018.The ecm patch was opened up and the site was cleaned, however it can be noted that the original ecm patch was not fully explanted and only a small part (specific size unknown) of the cormatrix ecm patch was sent to hospital pathology and it was confirmed the area was a true aneurysm (no rupture/leak - all encapsulated).Another patch (bovine pericardial) was used for the corrective surgery.Exact pathology details are not available.It can be noted that the facility reported the event to the fda on approximately (b)(6) 2018 through hospital's general counsel.Dr.Kim (original implanting physician) does not have an internal reference number or a reference number from the fda.The physician does not believe the event is related to the procedure and is probably related to the device.In the opinion of the implanting/treating physician, the probable cause was stated as, "ecm patch not thick enough for vascular pressure.".
