Event or Problem Description

|
The patient was initially implanted with an ovation ix stent graft system to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).It was reported that during the initial procedure the graft was difficult to demate, the implant was displaced and there was type 1a endoleak.This event was previously captured per patient id (b)(6).Patient was not in routine follow-up care.Approximately six (6) years post implant the physician reported that the aaa ruptured from a type 1 endoleak.Upon further review it appears there was a juxtarenal aneurysm that may have caused the rupture as there was no visible type 1a endoleak, and the issue appears to be where that proximal crown is above the ovation ix fabric.The physician elected to implant a cook pmeg (physician modified endograft) (non-endologix) stent to resolve this event.The patient was reported as doing well post this secondary procedure on (b)(6) 2022.This event was previously captured per patient id (b)(6).Additionally, during the initial implant procedure, a laceration occurred that required emergent repair.In addition, patient returned to the hospital twelve (12) days post initial procedure for blood transfusion and left groin hematoma evaluation.
