Trial Outcomes & Findings for Core Gel Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of Mentor Round Low Bleed Silicone Gel-filled Mammary Prostheses (NCT NCT00753922)

NCT ID: NCT00753922

Last Updated: 2014-04-16

Results Overview

Time of occurrence calculated as the number of days from the date of the implant procedure to the onset date of the event. Patients were censored as of the date of their last office visit, the 120 month time point, or the date of explantation of all initial study devices, whichever was earliest.

Measure
Primary Augmentation
The Augmentation cohort will include patients who have post-lactational mammary involution or wish general breast enlargement.
Primary Reconstruction
The Reconstruction cohort will include patients with loss of breast due to mastectomy or with deformities secondary to disease, malignancy, trauma, and congenital deformity. Congenital deformities will include deformities of the breast itself as well as skeletal abnormalities reflected in breast deformity or asymmetry. Asymmetry is one or more of the following conditions: * One cup size difference in breast size. * The need to differentially pad one bra cup to match the opposite breast size. * Asymmetry due to chest wall deformity such as scoliosis or other deformities of the thoracic cage and/or associated visible differences in shoulder height that can make one breast appear to be at a different height than the other.
Revision Augmentation
Patients in this cohort will have had previous breast augmentation or reconstruction with silicone or saline filled implants.
Revision Reconstruction
Patients in this cohort will have had previous breast reconstruction with silicone or saline filled implants and are having a revision surgery to correct or improve the result of any previous breast reconstruction surgery.

Timeframe: 10 years

Population: All Enrolled Subjects

The safety analyses were conducted in accordance with the FDA November 17, 2006 "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Saline, Silicone Gel, and Alternative Breast Implants." The study investigator assessed any complications durign study follow-up visits in alignment with this guidance. Time of occurrence was calculated as the number of days from the date of the implant procedure to the onset date of the event. Patients were censored as of the date of their last office visit, the 120 month time point, or the date of explantation of all initial study devices, whichever was earliest. Complications with an incidence \> 5.0% are reported.
