MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed from a other report with the FDA on 2020-03-30 for UNKNOWN TRAPEASE 466P306X manufactured by Cordis Corporation.
[188514989]
As reported, a patient underwent placement of a trapease inferior vena cava (ivc) filter. The indication for filter placement is not available. The filter subsequently malfunctioned and caused injury and damage to the patient, including, but not limited to, perforation, fracture, tilting and perforation abutting an adjacent organ. The filter remains implanted; thus, unavailable for analysis. The product was not returned for analysis and the sterile lot number has not been provided; therefore, no device analysis nor device history record review could be performed. The trapease vena cava filter is indicated for use in the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism (pe) via percutaneous placement in the vena cava for patients in which anticoagulants are contraindicated, anticoagulant therapy for thromboembolic disease has failed, emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism where anticipated benefits of conventional therapy are reduced or for chronic, recurrent pulmonary embolism where anticoagulant therapy has failed, or is contraindicated. The purpose of a vena cava filter is to catch thrombus from the lower extremities as it travels along normal blood flow patterns up towards the heart. Without procedural films for review, the filter tilt reported could not be confirmed. Additionally, the timing and mechanism of the filter tilt is unknown. Ivc filter tilt has been associated with the anatomy of the vessel, specifically asymmetry and tortuousness. The instructions for use (ifu) states filter fracture with perforation is a potential complication of vena cava filters. Anatomic locations that create concentrated stress points from filter deformation (for example, deployment at apex of scoliosis, overlapping of either of the renal ostia, or placement adjacent to a vertebral osteophyte) may contribute to fracture of a particular filter strut. It was reported that there was perforation of the ivc and organs; however, a clinical conclusion could not be determined as to the cause of the event. A review of the instructions for use notes vessel damage such as intimal tears and perforation as procedural complications related it ivc filters. Clinical factors that may have influenced the event include patient, lesion characteristics. Without procedural films or images for review the reported event(s) could not be confirmed. Given the limited information available for review at this time, there is nothing to suggest that the reported events are related to the design and manufacturing process of the device; therefore, no corrective action will be taken. Should additional information become available, the file will be updated accordingly.
