MindFrameCapture LP Revascularization Injury Lawyer Chicago

MindFrameCapture LP Device Overview

The MindFrameCapture LP Revascularization device was developed to restore blood flow in patients who have suffered an ischemic stroke. An ischemic stroke is caused by a clot in the brain halting blood flow, leading to brain cell death. The device was intended to be an effective method to surgically remove a clot in certain patients, when performed within eight hours of the stroke event.

FDA Recall due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death

The FDA recently issued a Class 1 FDA recall (the most serious FDA recall), of several lots of MindFrameCapture LP Revascularization Devices due to a potentially lethal defect. The device worked with a thin pushwire which a surgeon inserted into an artery, and then threaded it through the artery to the area of the brain where the clot was lodged. The device has a mesh system that grabs the clot, which was then extracted through the artery.

The recall is associated with an extremely dangerous issue – the risk of the wire breaking or separating while the procedure was being performed. In the recalled devices, the part of the device that was intended to retrieve the clot could potentially break off with the retrieval section being left within the artery. Further surgical intervention to attempt to remove it from the patient added the risk of serious complications, including bleeding, further blockage of the vital blood vessels, severe stroke symptoms, or a patient dying during the procedure.
