Manufacturer narrative: clinical code: 4843 - endoleak - endoleak type iii reported.1776 - chest pain: site confirmed the patient reported a "funny chest pain" post op day 4 impact code: 4621 - recognised device or procedural complication.- thoraflex hybrid us ifu (301-213-usen) rev 2 lists endoleak as potential adverse event.Device problem code: 4074 - endoleaks - endoleak type iii reported.Component code: 4755 - part/component/sub-assembly term not applicable.Type of investigation: 4110 - trend analysis: a 4-year review of similar complaints could not be performed as this is the only type iii endoleak reported (b)(6) 2022 - (b)(6) 2025.No trend requiring action has been identified.4111 - communication interview: additional information was received from a call with the site which states the below: ·during the procedure.The clinician usually debranches, takes vascular load stapler with thoraflex hybrid deployed and sewed 1 line of suture to distal cuff, re-perfused then sews another line of suture for hemostasis ·patient reported a "funny chest pain" post op day 4 - ct showed contrast in arterial phase in false lumen.-initial thought was maybe type 2 endoleak but the patient was clinically doing fine -ct scans were consistent possible type 1a endoleak, however the aortogram showed it wasn't a type 1, but the leak was through the thoraflex hybrid.·clinician opinion - the needle may have stabbed through thoraflex hybrid device through during the 2nd layer of suturing which might have caused the endoleak.· patient diagnosed with type 3 endoleak.· plans on performing a planned extension on the patient.3331 - analysis of production records: full batch review from base fabric to finished product was performed which confirmed the device was manufactured to specification.4117 - device not returned: device remains implanted.4112 - analysis of information provided by user/ third party: scan review was performed on (b)(6) 2025 which concluded the below: ·pseudo aneurysm at distal anastomosis on brachiocephalic artery.Endoleak occurring at suture collar of device.·procedure related, no failure in device.Device performing as intended.·the event was determined to be procedure related.Investigation findings: 213 - no device problem found: from the investigation performed which confirmed that, the device was manufactured to specification, there was no issue with the device before or during implant and scan review confirmed the event was related to the procedure and no failure of the device.Device performed as intended.Also, full batch review from base fabric to finished product was performed which confirmed the device was manufactured to specification.Investigation conclusion: 4311 - adverse event related to procedure: from the investigation performed it was confirmed with scan review that the event was related to the procedure.There was no device failure and device performed as intended.Also in the clinician's opinion, the needle may have stabbed through thoraflex hybrid device through during the 2nd layer of suturing which might have caused the endoleak 22 - known inherent risk of device: ifu - (instructions for use) review was performed which stated, thoraflex hybrid us ifu (301-213-usen) rev 2.0 section 6.1 table 2 states endoleak.
