The patient problems coded most often are hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding, hematoma and pseudoaneurysm.

The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
