[188517521]
Occupation: other, senior counsel, litigation. Please note that the exact event date is unknown and the event date is the complaint awareness date. It was reported that a patient underwent placement of a trapease vena cava filter. The information provided indicated that the filter subsequently malfunctioned and caused perforation and tilting of the filter. The indication for the filter implant has not been provided and there is currently no additional information available for review. 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 ivc 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 pe where anticipated benefits of conventional therapy are reduced or for chronic, recurrent pe 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. Ivc filter tilt has been associated with the anatomy of the vessel, specifically asymmetry and tortuosity. Vessel perforation is a known adverse event associated with implanting vena cava filters and is listed as such in the instructions for use (ifu). The ifu also notes vessel damage such as intimal tears and perforation as procedural and long-term complications related to ivc filters. The timing and mechanism of the tilt and perforation has not been reported at this time and a clinical conclusion could not be determined as to the cause of the event. It is unknown if the tilt contributed to the reported perforation. Without procedural films or post implant imaging available for review, the reported filter tilt and perforation could not be confirmed or further clarified. There is nothing to suggest that the reported event is related to the design and/or manufacturing process of the device; therefore, no corrective action will be taken. Should additional information become available, the file will be updated accordingly. Please note that this is the initial/final report for this product.
