Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was initially treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) with implant of an afx2 bifurcated stent graft, an afx vela infrarenal aortic extension and an afx vela suprarenal aortic extension.Approximately four and a half (4.5) years post initial procedure, during a routine follow up the patient presented with an expanding aneurysm sac enlargement.The physician elected to bring the patient in for a reintervention.There was no obvious endoleak; however, a type 1b endoleak was suspected therefore, the right iliac limb was extended distally.Additionally, the physician added a vela proximal extension to increase distal overlap as the aneurysm had grown so large, it was felt that it was needed.The patient did well during procedure and everything looked sealed by angiogram.
