The patient was initially treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) with implant of the alto abdominal aortic aneurysm stent system.During the initial implant procedure, the contralateral leg to the alto main body did not completely fill with polymer.The physician successfully utilized the cross-over channel for gate access and the procedure was completed with no impact to the patient.This event was previously reported under 3008011247-2022-00104.Now, approximately one and a half (1.5) years post initial procedure, during follow up the iliac limb stent graft was found to have occluded on an unknown date.The patient is currently being monitored while an intervention is being discussed.

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 right common iliac limb occlusion and additional endovascular procedure are confirmed.This is consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.It was reported that the contralateral left limb did not completely polymer fill at the index procedure.It is unclear if this contributed to the reported events.Device, user, procedure or anatomy relatedness of this complaint could not be determined.Procedure related harms could not be determined.The final patient status was reported as doing well.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.Corrections: b2: outcomes attributed to adverse events has been updated.B5: describe event or problem has been updated.G3: awareness date has been updated.H6: health effect - impact code: remove code 4614.H6: investigation finding codes: remove code 3233.H6: investigation conclusion codes: remove code 11.
