Event or Problem Description

It was reported that during the initial procedure on (b)(6) 2016, the physician had a deployment issue with the bifurcated device.The deployment cord on the bifurcated device was too tight and after several attempts at pulling the cord, the cord broke.In trying to remove the device from the patient the device unintentionally deployed in a sub optimal position.Following the bifurcated stent deployment the physician deployed a proximal extension as well and was not able to achieve a seal to successfully exclude the aneurysm.It was reported the initial implants are currently not anchored properly within the aorta and there has not been a scheduled intervention at this time.
