An ovation ix abdominal stent graft system was implanted to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm.Approximately one hour after the index procedure, the patient reportedly had a cold left leg.The patient returned to the operating room where it was determined that there was a clot in the aortic body stent graft.Two atrium icast grafts were "kissed" together in the aortic body stent graft which successfully restored flow.As of the date of this report, there have been no additional patient sequelae reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the clinical assessment for this event, the most likely cause of the left iliac limb occlusion was determined to be user related, due to the reported 'hourglass' appearance of the trunk of the main body.Index procedure angiography demonstrated what was likely a twist in the trunk of the aortic body and proximal unsupported legs due to the positioning of the iliac limbs, causing the flow lumen to narrow.The final patient disposition was discharged on post-operative day nineteen.A review of the device quality records shows that the device demonstrated compliance to established procedures and specifications at the time of manufacture.Codes: (b)(4).
