Manufacturer Narrative
|
The grafts remain in situ, so the product was not returned for evaluation.Images were provided and reviewed by the medical director.The medical director stated the following: the segment of the aorta just above the renal arteries, forming the neck of the aneurysm, measures about 23mm at its smallest diameter.The diameter mismatch may have caused the problem.The following additional information was received: question: has the physician determined possible contributing factors that may have contributed to the reported event? ¿ dr has not confirmed yet.Question: was the device ifu followed? if yes, has the device functioned as expected while following the ifu? if no, please provide details.Yes - device deployed as per ifu question: was any difficulty experienced during deployment? if yes, please provide details.- yes - the graft appeared to have wall contact, however diameter reducing ties were not deployed yet.No difficulty with unsheathing.Question: was the patient¿s anatomy tortuous? no question: are any ¿procedural notes¿ available? if so, please provide.Dr has not confirmed yet.Question: was the device inspected prior to use in order to ensure no damage has occurred? yes question: was there any difficulty positioning graft? - yes - the graft appeared to have wall contact, however diameter reducing ties were not deployed yet.Question: was there any difficulty withdrawing trigger wires? no question: was the delivery system rotated together as per the ifu? yes a review of device history record for work order (b)(4) was reviewed and appears complete and correct.The device was manufactured to specification and did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to the adverse event.The instruction for use (ifu) supplied with the device states: general information: table 9.5.1 proximal body graft diameter sizing shows that a 23 mm intended aortic vessel diameter should be matched with a 28 mm main body diameter.Based on the information it is likely that the mismatch of graft diameter with the vessel diameter may have contributed to this complaint.
