    IT WAS REPORTED THAT AFTER IMPLANTATION OF A HIP HEMIARTHROPLASTY (SURGERY DUE TO A TRAUMA RELATED SUBCAPITAL HIP FRACTURE) IN AN ELDERLY FEMALE, THE PATIENT SUFFERED A PULMONARY EMBOLISM AND DIED INTRAOPERATIVELY. PROCEDURAL RELATED COMPLICATIONS ARE INFLUENCED BY THE TYPE OF SURGERY, PATIENTS PRE-EXISTING COMORBID STATE, AND PERIOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT. IF A DVT/ BLOOD CLOT OR FAT EMBOLISM BREAKS FREE, IT MAY TRAVEL THROUGH THE BLOODSTREAM AND BLOCK BLOOD FLOW TO THE LUNGS. THIS COMPLICATION IS CALLED A PULMONARY EMBOLISM WHICH CAN QUICKLY TURN FATAL. AS THIS IS A PROCEDURE-RELATED AND PATIENT CONDITION RELATED EVENT, THE DEVICE CAN BE RULED OUT AS CAUSING OR CONTRIBUTING TO THE EVENT. UPON REASSESSMENT OF THE REPORTED EVENT, IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE NOT REPORTABLE. THE INITIAL REPORT WAS FORWARDED IN ERROR AND SHOULD BE VOIDED.
