Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.Imagery and planning/sizing information was requested; however, none were received.Work order ac1045694 was reviewed and appears complete and correct.The ifu sent with the complaint device states that "inaccurate placement and/or incomplete sealing of the zenith fenestrated aaa endovascular graft within the vessel may result in increased risk of endoleak, migration or inadvertent occlusion of the renal or internal iliac arteries.Renal artery patency must be maintained to prevent/reduce the risk of renal failure and subsequent complications.It is recommended that all vessels accommodated by a small fenestration be stented in order to secure positive alignment of the graft fenestration with the vessel origin." and lists "organ impairment/loss due to side-branch vessel occlusion (in particular, renal and/or gastrointestinal impairment/loss)" and "renal complications and subsequent attendant problems (e.G., artery stenosis or occlusion, contrast toxicity, infarct, insufficiency, failure)" as potential adverse events.Based on the information received it is difficult to determine an exact root cause.It is possible that one or more of the following factors contributed to the complaint: -twisting of the implant within the delivery system -kinking/ collapse/excessive prolapse of implant/folding of implant material between stents -insufficient expansion of the peripheral stent.
