Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.Three request were made to obtain medical imaging but no imaging were provided.The work order ac963112 was reviewed and appears correct and complete.The graft appears to be manufactured as per the approved by physician order.The device ifu states that the long-term performance of fenestrated endovascular grafts, including the stents placed in fenestrations/scallops, has not yet been established, and all patients should be advised that endovascular treatment requires life-long, regular follow-up to assess their health and the performance of their endovascular graft.Potential adverse events that may occur and/or require intervention include, but are not limited to: endoleak, component migration.Based on the information provided, the root cause of the difficulty reported by the healthcare facility is unknown.It is possible that the separation was due to: insufficient fixation (friction) between the proximal and distal components.Inadequate retention forces.Distal device separation.Patient-related factors.
