Event or Problem Description
|
|
Patient initially implanted with a bifurcated stent and a suprarenal aortic extension on (b)(6) 2016.Following the initial implant procedure an angiogram identified a possible type 2 endoleak or a possible type 3a endoleak between the main body stent and the proximal extension.Further review of the angiogram also showed a possible type 3b endoleak at the suture line of the main body as well as a type 1b endoleak from the left limb of the main body.The type 3b endoleak of the main body was thought to be due to damage caused by the proximal extension during implant.The physician elected to implant an additional limb extension to resolve the type 1b endoleak as well as an infrarenal aortic extension to seal the type 3a endoleak.A final scan showed the patient still had an unknown endoleak remaining at the main body, possible type 2 or type 3 endoleak.The physician is planning to reline the with an additional bifurcated stent.A secondary intervention has not been completed or scheduled.
