Manufacturer Narrative

No part of the device was returned for evaluation.Images were not provided for review despite multiple requests.The medical director reviewed the information available and stated that the problem was almost certainly due to very small diameter l.Renal bridging stent (5mm) (most renals take a 6-8mm bridging stent) and possibly some pre-existing renal artery disease, though that cannot be confirmed due to lack of information.The occlusion (thrombosis) of l.Renal bridging stent, but no fault or failure of the main body of the device as far as he can tell from the very limited information available.Review of device history record found that the work order for lot ac1130882 appears complete and correct.There were no temporary deviations or non-conformances at the time of manufacturing.The associated inspection record confirms that the device was manufactured to specification.Review of specifications found that the graft appears to have been manufactured as per the 'device order form' signed by the physician.It is stated in the 'device order form' that "all small fenestrations are 6 mm wide.Heights are either 6 or 8 mm".In this case is stated that the height is 8mm.Review of the instructions for use (ifu) supplied with the device for general information found that it contained appropriate warnings, precautions, and instructions to the user, including: 4.2 patient selection, treatment and follow-up ¿ access vessel diameter (measured inner wall to inner wall) and morphology (minimal tortuosity, occlusive disease, and/or calcification) should be compatible with vascular access techniques and delivery systems of the profile of a 14 french to 22 french vascular introducer sheath.Vessels that are significantly calcified, occlusive, tortuous or thrombus-lined may preclude placement of the endovascular graft and/or may increase the risk of embolization/trauma.4.3 implant procedure ¿ 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.5.Adverse events: potential adverse events that may occur and/or require intervention include, but are not limited to: ¿ arterial or venous thrombosis and/or pseudoaneurysm.¿ occlusion of device or native vessel.¿ renal complications and subsequent attendant problems (e.G., artery stenosis or occlusion, contrast toxicity, infarct, insufficiency, failure).This is a known potential adverse event as described in the instructions for use.Based on the available information, a definitive root cause could not be determined from the investigation.Possible root cause(s) are: - fenestrations diameter on graft larger than diameter of visceral stents.- patient's factor (i.E.A very small renal artery, needing a tiny 5mm bridging stent).
