Event Description
|
An ovation ix abdominal stent graft system, two additional ovation ix iliac limbs, a non- endologix hypo stent and non- endologix coils were implanted to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).The right side was treated with the (non- endologix) hypo covered stent implanted parallel to the second ovation ix iliac limb (hypo-snorkel procedure) which was placed distal of the first ovation ix iliac limb.The left side was treated with the second ovation ix iliac limb which was placed to further extend in addition to non-endologix coils.The initial procedure was outside the indications of use (off- label).Approximately 14 (fourteen) months post-op, a type 3a endoleak and a type 2 endoleak with complete component separation on the right side between the two ovation ix iliac limbs and the non- endologix hypo covered stent was identified.Two (2) days post identified adverse event and device malfunction, the right iliac ruptured and emergency re-intervention was performed.The physician elected to implant two additional ovation ix iliac limbs across the separated ovation ix iliac limbs and coils (non- endologix).The patient was reported as doing well post-secondary procedure.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Clinical assessment was completed based on the received medical records.The reported right iliac artery rupture was unconfirmed due to a lack of relevant imaging and medical records.Requests were made; however, denied due to patient authorization requirements.The type ii endoleak of the internal mesenteric artery was confirmed.This event is most likely anatomy related.The type iiia endoleak of the right iliac was confirmed by still images only.This event is most likely user related due to off label concomitant use of a non endologix stent in the right internal iliac artery.Procedure related harms for this could not be determined.The final patient status was reported to be doing well after a secondary endovascular procedure to repair the reported right iliac rupture.The manufacturing lot evaluation confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.The device remains implanted; therefore, no device evaluation was completed.No additional investigation of this reported event is planned; however, if additional information pertinent to the incident is obtained, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this complaint and similar complaints in the event further investigation is needed.Corrections: b6: relevant tests/laboratory data, including date - removed (b)(6) 2019: ct.
