Event or Problem Description
The patient was initially treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) with the implant of an afx bifurcated stent graft.Approximately sixteen days post initial procedure, reintervention was completed for an unknown reason with the implant of an afx vela suprarenal (reported under mfr# 2031527-2022-00225).Now, approximately six and a half (6.5) years later, routine follow-up identified a possible type 3b endoleak with aneurysm enlargement.Reportedly, the computerized tomography did not show evidence of graft leakage and was classified as endotension.Reintervention was completed with the implant of an afx2 bifurcated stent graft.The final patient status was 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.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 was completed.An examination of medical records and/or medical imaging received by endologix shows that the type 3b endoleak and additional endovascular procedure were confirmed, however the reported sac growth was not confirmed due to lack of comparative imaging.This is moderately 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 was reported to be 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: g3: date received by manufacturer has been updated h6: investigation finding: remove code 3233 h6: investigation conclusion: remove code 11.
