Medtronic has recalled its MindFrame Capture LP revascularization device due to wire material that may break or separate during use. The device is intended to restore blood flow or remove blood clots within a blood vessel in the brain during an acute ischemic stroke in patients who are ineligible for or fail intravenous tissue plasminogen activator therapy. A [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm608158.htm?ref=fdaweb.com) says that if the delivery wire breaks or separates during use, the clot retriever could be left inside a patient’s bloodstream, and this or the attempts made to retrieve the device, can lead to further complications including bleeding, additional blockage of blood vessels, more severe stroke symptoms, or death.
