Reason for Recall
Reports of vascular graft delamination, which may lead to reduced access flow; cannulation difficulties; bleeding or bruising; and harms related to reintervention procedures, so Instructions for Use will be updated to modify existing warning to 1) further clarify techniques that may contribute to the risk of delamination, 2) Addition of delamination to device-related adverse event section.
Action Details
On 8/26/2025, correction notices were mailed to Vascular Surgeons and other physicians who were informed of the following:
No action is required for patients who currently have the device implanted; however,
please be aware of delamination as a potential cause of occlusion should clinical
issues arise in the future. Management of patients with suspected or confirmed
delamination should be guided by the clinical judgment of the treating physician,
with careful consideration of the risks and benefits of each treatment option in the
context of the individual circumstance.
Instructions for use will be updated to include the following:
When performing reinterventions on the GORE ACUSEAL Vascular Graft, avoid the use of oversized balloons.
A possible complication which may occur with the use of the GORE ACUSEAL Vascular Graft is delamination. Delamination may result in partial or complete occlusion due to hemodynamically significant stenosis or thrombosis and related serious harms, including additional interventions to resolve.
