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 (1) one year post initial procedure, the patient presented with occlusion of the left leg and severe stenosis of the right leg.The patient underwent a re-intervention where the physician implanted a smart (non-endologix) stent.The final patient status remains unknown.The final patient status was not made available to endologix.
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 left limb occlusion, right limb stenosis, and additional endovascular procedure are unconfirmed.This is not consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.The proximal left common iliac artery appears to be highly angulated.This could have contributed to left limb occlusion but could not be conclusively determined.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 not made available to endologix.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.
