Event Description
|
An ovation ix abdominal stent graft system was implanted to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm.The 1 month post operative ct showed narrowing at the level of the aortic body stent graft sealing rings due to the stent graft being placed below the intended landing zone, placing the sealing rings in a location where the aortic diameter is smaller than the implanted stent graft.A re-intervention is planned at a later date to place a balloon expandable stent at the level of the sealing rings.As of the date of this report, the re-intervention has not been scheduled and the patient will continue to be monitored.There have been no additional patient sequelae reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the clinical assessment for this event, the most likely cause of the reported occlusion within the device was determined to be anatomy related.A clinical assessment showed that the device did not likely contribute to the event.Procedure-related circumstances were found to not likely have contributed to this event.Anatomical factors such as the patient's pre-existing iliac artery occlusive disease most likely contributed to the occlusion within the device.There were no user-related, off-label, or cautionary product use conditions found.A review of the device quality records shows that the device demonstrated compliance to established procedures and specifications at the time of manufacture.(b)(4).

Event Description
|
An ovation prime abdominal stent graft system was implanted to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm.The patient returned unscheduled at an unknown date with symptoms of abdominal pain.A cat scan was completed and it was observed that the stent graft was thrombosed from the inferior renal artery to the common femoral artery.The patient returned approximately 2.5 years post-op for a re-intervention to implant an axial bi-femoral surgical graft, which partially resolved perfusion through the stent graft system.There have been no additional patient sequelae reported.
