Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was initially treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) on (b)(6) 2024 with the implant of an alto stent graft system.Routine follow-up conducted on (b)(6) 2025 reportedly identified that the surgeon had inadvertently deployed both left and right ovation iliac limbs in the ipsilateral gate.Reintervention has been scheduled for (b)(6) 2025 to fix this situation.Because both limbs are in the ipsilateral gate the limb to the left iliac system is compressed causing claudication symptoms from limited flow to the left leg.The patient is being monitored while revision plans are being discussed.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The reported adverse event/incident was investigated in alignment with endologix operating procedures and work instructions.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 was unable to perform an evaluation of the device as it remains implanted in the patient.A clinical evaluation of the adverse event/incident was completed.An examination of limited medical imaging received by endologix was unable to verify the malposition of the device (contra limb in ipsilateral gate), bucked material (left iliac), left lower limb ischemia and claudication therefore, these complaints are unconfirmed.This is not consistent with the reported adverse event/incident.Device, user, procedure or anatomy relatedness of complaint could not be determined.Procedure related harms could not be identified.The final patient status was not provided.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 ae: updated.B5: description - updated.B6: relevant tests and lab data - updated.G3: date received by manufacturer - updated.H4: manufacture date - corrected.H6: investigation finding codes - remove code 3233.H6: investigation conclusion codes - remove code 11.
