Manufacturer Narrative

The root cause for the emptying of the polymer syringe and intravascular leak of polymer could not be definitively confirmed with the information available.The most likely cause of the emptying of the polymer syringe and intravascular leak of polymer was likely due to a compromise in the integrity of the aortic body stent graft fill channels and/or mating junction of the delivery system to the stent graft; however, this could not be definitively confirmed.The most likely cause of the proximal loss of seal was the polymer leak.No procedure related harm detected.The patient was discharged home on the first post operative day in stable condition.The delivery system was not available for evaluation and the stent graft remains implanted.As of the date of this report, there have been additional patient sequelae reported.A review of the device quality records showed that the device demonstrated compliance to established procedures and specifications at the time of manufacture.

Event Description

An ovation ix abdominal stent graft system was implanted to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm.The aortic body stent graft was positioned and deployed as expected.Upon polymer fill of the aortic body stent graft, the polymer syringe was observed to have emptied indicating a potential intravascular leak of polymer, and the patient experienced hypotension.The patient was treated for a hypersensitive reaction per the ifu and was stabilized.The final angiogram showed the presence of a type ia endoleak which was successfully resolved with the placement of a palmaz balloon expandable stent.As of the date of this report, there have been no additional patient sequelae reported and the patient will continue to be monitored.
