Event Description
|
The following information was reported to gore: on (b)(6) 2015, this patient underwent emergency endovascular treatment for an imminent rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm using gore® excluder® aaa endoprosthesis.A trunk - ipsilateral leg endoprosthesis (rlt261412j) was implanted from under the renal arteries.The patient tolerated the procedure.On an unknown date, migration of the rlt261412j to the distal side (distance: approximately 25 mm) was observed.On (b)(6) 2023, a reintervention was performed using gore® excluder® conformable aaa endoprosthesis.Aortic extender endoprosthesis (cxa360005) was to be implanted proximally to the migrated rlt261412j overlapping 2cm.However, during deployment of the cxa360005 from under the renal artery, it moved to proximally, resulting partial coverage of the right renal artery.Reportedly, the physician deployed the cxa360005 slowly (slow deploy).Also it was reported that the cxa360005, which began slowly deploying from one side of the distal (cxa360005 is deployed from distal one side, so usually it looked as if it was temporarily lifted one side), hit the rlt261412j during full deployment, causing it to jamp proximally.Because the deployment position of the cxa360005 was moved proximally, resulting in a shortened overlap with the rlt261412j, a second aortic extender endoprosthesis (cxa360005) was to be additionally implanted.When the second cxa360005 was deployed, the landing position of the left distal side became proximal than expected, and the distal side of the second cxa360005 was deployed at an angle.Therefore, a third aortic extender endoprosthesis (pla360400j) was additionally implanted.An attempt was made to implant an additional stent to treat the partial coverage of the right renal artery, but cannulation to the right renal artery was unsuccessful, so the procedure was completed with no treatment for the right renal artery coverage.There was no delay in blood flow to the right renal artery.On (b)(6) 2023, the patient's renal function declined, and an emergency reintervention was performed.However, cannulation to the right renal artery was unsuccessful again, the procedure was terminated without any treatment.The patient developed right renal failure and was placed on dialysis.
