I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospspal after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more ealy. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or d dtal procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Now a followup on an exclusive nbc news medication into a medical device designed to prevent blood clots from rochestering the heart and lungs, but was associated with at least 27 deaths. The Company Modified the device and a new version was supposed to solve its problems. As Stephanie Gosk reports, the new device had similar problems and is associated with at least a dozen more deaths. Reporter when chris doctor told him five years ago he needed a blood clot filter to help treat a genetic disorder, he didnt think twice. Its here to save your life so i said, okay, lets do it. Reporter the filter is a small wire trap inserted in the largest vein in the body to prevent deadly blood clots from and lungs. More than a a quarter million are implanted every year without incident. It is made by g2 express. In october a routine checkup revealed something alarming. The filter wasnt where it was supposed to be. He said it is dangerously close to your heart. He had spoken to other surgeons and none would attempt to remove this. Reporter they turned to dr. William co. During this emergency surgery, he saw two already damaged filter legs break off. One could have killed chris. It floated in front of our eyes literally. Burst into the right atrium. Reporter he is lucky that didnt pierce his heart. Right. Reporter he sees more complications with barr filters than any other brand and stopped using them all together. Tlim have been concerned about a bar filter. The g2 implanted in chris was supposed to be safer than the original version called the recovery. We turn to an nbc news investigation weve been working on for a year. Reporter an nbc news investigation earlier this year showed the company knew they had potentially fatal flaws. We uncovered Confidential Company documents that showed the recovery filter had higher rates of relative risk for death, filter fracture and movement than all of its competitors. According to the fda and company record, the recovery device is now associated with at least 27 deaths. Instead of recalling the problematic recovery, they kept selling the filter until it could replace g2, which the Company Hopes would resolve its issues, but according to their ownwn internal records, it didnt documents show the replacement g2 series filters had more reported problems competitors. In a confidential memo, one of bards own Vice President expressed concerns with problems with migration, tilting and perforation. Is the g2 safe for patients . I think the data speaks for itself. The number of complications, the frequency of the failures makes it obviouou that it was never safe to be implanted. Reporter he says both the g2s and its predecessor the recovery sud have been recalled. They were not. Bard kept the g2 on the market five years and sold 160,000. At least 12 deaths have been associated with the filters. What we learned the hard way is that we can no longer rely on the medical Device Companies to do whats in the best interest of the patient. And we can no lononr rely on the fda to properly regulate these devices. Reporter our first reports on bard chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee Charles Grassley to send this letter to the fda. Asking in part, what action the fda takes when new information about an approved medical device comes known . Fdas only got one responsibility. Its john q. Public to protect the American Public from safety and effectiveness. Reporter senator grassley told us the fdas response was incomplete. He had more questions as he decides what steps to take next. Once again, bard declined our request for an oncamera interview, but told us while all medical devices carry some risk, its filters are an important clinical option for physicians, and that the company steadfastly believes in the safety and efficacy of these devices. Weve got the bulk of that filter out. Reporter four days after chris emergency surgery, he met with the doctor for a followup. This is a filter we one of the broken arms is at the bottom of the jar. Reporter a patient grateful to be saved from a filter he thought was saving his life. You seem shaken to me. Its very difficult to think that you could have reporter you caught it. Luckily. Reporter the fda did not answer our question why bards recovery and g2 filters were not recalled. The agency says it investigated the risks of all blood clot filters, not just bards, and issued safety alerts. The agency helped organ outside longterm Clinical Trial that began this month to examine the safety and effect effectiveness of filters on the market. Thank you for that report.
