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.Endologix could not perform an evaluation of the device as the device remains implanted in the patient.A clinical evaluation of the adverse event/incident was completed.An examination of medical records and/or medical imaging received by endologix shows the type iiia endoleak of the right ovation ix iliac limb and ovation ix extender is unconfirmed.The additional endovascular procedure complaint is confirmed.This is moderately consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.The clinical assessment determined that there was evidence to reasonably suggest aneurysm enlargement of 13.5mm and a type ii endoleak occurred that was not included in the event as reported.The aneurysm enlargement and type ii endoleak were discovered during review of the ct scan dated 17 july 2024.It could not be definitely determined if the endoleak was a type iiia endoleak or a type ii endoleak (lumbar).Type ii endoleaks are anatomy related.Device, user, procedure or anatomy relatedness of complaint could not be determined.Procedure related harms could not be identified.The final patient status was reported as stable.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: g3: awareness date ¿ updated.H6: investigation finding codes - remove code 3233.H6: investigation conclusion codes - remove code 11.
