The patient was being treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).The afx2 bifurcated stent graft and an afx limb stent graft were implanted.Reportedly, upon insertion of a 16fr sheath from the patient¿s left side and attempting to access the distal left limb with a guidewire and catheter the afx limb stent graft was hit and pushed over the bifurcation and into the ipsilateral leg.The bifurcation was very wide, and the device had no apposition with either limb.A uni-iliac was created with additional afx pieces (two (2) afx vela infrarenal and an afx vela suprarenal), and a surgical femoral-to-femoral surgical procedure was performed to restore the flow to the left side.The patient is being monitored.
