Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was implanted with the alto stent graft system to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa).Approximately four (4) years post initial procedure, during routine follow-up, the computed tomography angiogram (cta) showed aneurysm enlargement and a type 1b on endoleak coming from the left iliac artery with no seal from the flared ovation ix iliac limb.The physician elected to coil the patient's left internal iliac artery with (non-endologix) coils and implant two (2) ovation ix iliac extensions from the aortic body limb down into the left external iliac artery to create a seal to successfully resolve this event.The patient was reported as doing fine post this secondary procedure and was discharged home the next day.
