| Reason of Field Safety Corrective Action: |
Vascutek has received a number of events involving graft bleeding including anastomotic bleeding and suture hole bleeding, either during or shortly after surgery.
|
| Remedy Action: |
To reduce the risk of bleeding, Vascutek advise that clinicians are aware of an additional 5 cautions relating to sizing and insertion instructions:
1. It is essential that the sutures are tightened each time they are passed through the material.
2. In order to achieve a smooth suture line and good haemostasis, it is important that the graft diameter selected must not be oversized relative to the distal anastomotic site.
3. Care should be taken not to apply excessive tension at the distal anastomosis by ensuring the graft is cut to the correct length.
4. The use of haemostatic agents / accelerants and/or felt/ pledgets may reduce the incidence of suture line bleeding and restemotomy.
5. The use of an oblique / bevel graft to vessel anastomosis is recommended. This technique will minimize any blood leakage arising from the oversizing of the graft relative to the native vessel.
