The device history record (dhr) review confirms that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The subject device was not returned for analysis; therefore, physical as well as a functional testing could not be performed.However, vessel thrombosis and ischemia/infarct are known risks associated with endovascular procedures and noted as such in the device directions for use (dfu).Therefore, an assignable cause of anticipated procedural complication was assigned to this event.
