Event Description

The patient was treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) on (b)(6) 2018.During the procedure, an afx vela suprarenal was positioned just below the renal artery.However, during retrieval of the delivery system tip, the afx vela suprarenal migrated downward, necessitating the addition of another afx vela suprarenal.The procedure concluded successfully without any signs of endoleaks.A type ii endoleak (non-device-related failure) was detected on subsequent follow-up computed tomography (ct) images, although the exact timing of its occurrence is unknown.The patient was closely monitored in response.On (b)(6) 2023, another follow-up ct scan revealed an aneurysm enlargement and a possible endoleak originating from the main body.On (b)(6) 2024, open surgery was performed.The presence of a type iiib endoleak from suture holes, observed on both the front and back sides, and a type ii endoleak were confirmed.The afx2 stent graft was explanted, and vessel replacement was undertaken.The additional surgical procedure was successfully completed, and the patient's post-operative condition remained stable.
