Event or Problem Description
The patient was initially treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) with the implant of an afx bifurcated stent graft and an afx vela suprarenal.Approximately seven (7) years post initial procedure, aneurysm enlargement from 6.1cm to 7.5cm since implantation and a possible type 3b endoleak were identified at routine follow-up.Reintervention has not yet been scheduled; however, it was reported that the physician plans to treat the type 3b endoleak with a gore (non-endologix) device.The patient is reported to be good.
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.The device was not returned to endologix for evaluation because it remains implanted.A clinical evaluation of the adverse event/incident was completed.An examination of medical records and/or medical imaging received by endologix shows the aneurysm enlargement and possible type 3b endoleak were unconfirmed.This is not consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.Procedure-related harms, device, user, procedure, or anatomy-relatedness of this complaint could not be determined with the medical records available for review.The final patient status remains unknown.The final patient status was reported as being good.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 afx with duraply.Corrections: h6 investigation finding codes; remove 3233.H6 investigation conclusion codes; remove 11.
