    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS REPORTED TO GORE: IN AN ABSTRACT TITLED "VASCULAR INTERVENTIONS IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER PATIENTS AS A MARKER OF POOR SURVIVAL", IT STATES A RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF CANCER PATIENTS TREATED BY HEAD AND NECK SURGERY AND VASCULAR SURGERY BETWEEN 2007 AND 2015 WAS CONDUCTED. TWENTY-TWO PATIENTS HAD STENTS PLACED DURING INDEX PROCEDURES. GORE® VIABAHN® ENDOPROSTHESES WERE UTILIZED IN EIGHT PATIENTS. ADDITIONALLY, EIGHT BYPASS PROCEDURES WERE PERFORMED, SEVEN HAD VEIN GRAFTS. ONE BYPASS PATIENT HAD A GORE® PROPATEN® VASCULAR GRAFT, FOR RECURRENT CAROTID STENOSIS FROM RADIATION ARTERITIS. THE PRIMARY PATENCY RATES FOR BOTH BYPASS AND STENTS WERE ANALYZED. THE MEAN PATENCY RATE FOR PATENCY WITH BYPASS WAS 16.6 MONTHS (RANGE, 1 DAY TO 23 MONTHS) COMPARED WITH 29.8 MONTHS (RANGE 3 DAYS TO 55 MONTHS) FOR PATIENTS TREATED WITH STENTS. PRIMARY PATENCY AT 1 YEAR WAS 71% AND 66% FOR BYPASS AND STENT PATIENTS RESPECTIVELY. THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRIMARY PATENCY FOR THE TWO GROUPS (P=.604).
