Event Description
|
An endurant stent graft system was implanted in the patient for the endovascular treatment of a 58mm fusiform abdominal aortic aneurysm.Vessel morphology at the time of implant was reported as the diameter of the upper proximal neck is 28mm and 29mm in diameter of aneurysm entry.The proximal neck length by centreline is 66mm and 20 degree angulation.It was reported that during the index procedure the final dsa confirmed that the distal side of the fabric slightly covered the left renal artery which led to decreased on blood flow.The physician added another manufacturer¿s stent and blood flow was restored.The procedure was completed successfully.The physician noted that during delivery for the proximal side, cranial view (cra) was not checked with an accurate angle, which caused slight difference of parallax.Therefore, the device slightly covered the left renal artery.The physician attributed the event to the operation, not the device.No additional clinical sequelae were reported and the patient will be monitored by the physician.

(b)(4).Evaluation, results: inherent risk of procedure (vessel occlusion, inaccurate stent graft delivery); related to operational context: (inaccurate delivery due to poor visualization).Conclusion: device failure/lack of effectiveness related to patient condition (vessel occlusion, inaccurate stent graft delivery); operational context contributed to event (inaccurate delivery due to poor visualization).
