Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that a patient undergoing an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) procedure had a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery (ima) identified as a potential feeder vessel.The physician elected to occlude the vessel to reduce the risk of a future endoleak and deployed a lobo-3 occluder.The physician estimated the vessel diameter to be between 3-4 mm and proceeded with use of the device outside its intended vessel size range, acknowledging an increased risk of migration.The stent graft was subsequently placed and expanded.Approximately 5 minutes after lobo deployment, the physician observed that the device had migrated approximately 5 mm.A post-procedure measurement determined the vessel diameter to be 4.08 mm.
