Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was implanted with the alto stent graft system to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).It was reported that when the polymer was delivered, the contralateral limb did not deploy.All troubleshooting steps were performed; however, the contralateral limb did not deploy so the polymer was not able to fill the limb.Deployment of the ipsilateral limb was completed and the aneurysm was sealed without an endoleak.The physician then performed a femoral-femoral bypass to provide blood flow to both lower extremities.The patient was reported as doing well and both lower extremities have palpable pulses.
