Event or Problem Description
The patient was initially implanted with an afx bifurcated stent graft and a non-endologix aortic extension to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).Approximately two (2) years post initial procedure, during a routine follow up, a computed tomography (ct) scan identified a type 3a endoleak with separation between the implanted devices.This initial procedure is outside the indications of use (off-label) due to the use of adjunctive devices not compatible with afx system per the ifu.The physician elected to implant an infrarenal aortic extension to resolve this event.The patient was reported as fine post secondary procedure.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reported adverse event/incident was investigated in alignment with endologix operating procedures and work instructions.Where possible, it is endologix practice to make at least three good faith efforts to retrieve a reported adverse event/incident related device as well as medical records and medical imaging.An evaluation of the manufacturing record was completed.A review of the part number/lot number combination needed for device identification shows the device to have been properly manufactured and released in accordance with the device master record.The review confirms there were no manufacturing or processing non-conformities identified that would contribute to the reported adverse event/incident.There are no other equivalent adverse events/incidents for this lot number existing within the endologix complaint handling system.An evaluation of the device could not be completed.The device was not returned to endologix for evaluation because it remains implanted.A clinical evaluation of the adverse event/incident could not be completed.No medical records or medical imaging relevant to the adverse event/incident was received by endologix.Due to the absence of relevant medical records and reported medical imaging; device, use, procedure, and/or anatomy relatedness to this adverse event/incident could not be evaluated.During the investigation, endologix found reasonable evidence to suggest the device was implanted outside the indications of use due to the presence of adjunctive devices not compatible with the afx system per device ifu.This is a contributing factor to the reported event.The final patient status was reported as being stable.No additional investigation of this reported adverse event/incident is planned.However, should additional information relevant to the investigation outcome become available, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this and similar adverse events/incidents.Device iteration is afx2.Corrections: h6 evaluation result codes; remove 3233.H6 evaluation conclusion codes; remove 11.
