Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the details of the complaint the physician had planned to use an advanta v12 5mm x 22 mm covered stent on a patient with a large and complex juxta-renal aneurysm but discovered that the two devices he had in inventory were expired.The physician opted to try to use an advanta v12 6mm x 22mm stent.This decision to use a larger stent ultimately ruptured the renal artery.This rupture was repaired then by the use of a 7mm advanta v12 covered stent then a self-expanding stent of unknown origin.Based on the details of the complaint it is clear that the wrong size stent was used to stent the renal artery due to the lack of the 5mm x 22 size stent availability.Any procedure should be planned to ensure the proper materials are available for a successful result.Being that this was reported as a complex juxta-renal aneurysm case pre planning would include verification of materials and expiration dates of materials.The sizing section of the instructions for use states the following: "measure the inner diameter of the vessel to determine the appropriate diameter stent.The advanta v12 stent is labeled as the outer diameter".H3 other text : not available for return.
