Event or Problem Description
|
|
An ovation ix abdominal stent graft system was implanted to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm.Patient returned emergently with diminished pulse in the right groin.Physician elected to do an open thrombectomy of the right iliac.The right limb was relined using a 14x14x160 limb that extended down into the external iliac.Upon completion of the procedure, the physician noted that the right limb did not fill as quickly as the left limb and elected to extend both limbs into the aortic body (kissing limbs).The procedure concluded without issues.As of the date of this report, there have been no additional patient sequelae reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the description of the event and provided medical records, clinical assessment confirmed the reported events of occluded right iliac limb of the ovation system; surgical thrombectomy of right iliac limb; distal extension of right iliac limb into reia; right and left proximal extensions (off label).Additionally, rcfa, right profunda, and rsfa endarterectomy with patch angioplasty and reia dissection-treated with drug eluting balloon.The likely cause of the inadequate stent graft patency was related to the significant iliac calcification just distal to the right iliac limb and the 76 degree infrarenal angulation.There were no known procedure-related or user related issues that contributed to this event.Additionally, no known related off label or cautionary product use conditions contributed to the event.Associated clinical harms for this device failure included: occlusion; ischemia; infarction (lower extremity); dissection; secondary endovascular procedures (right limb distal extension into right external iliac artery and bilateral proximal iliac limb extensions) and secondary surgical procedure (rcfa, rsfa and right profunda endarterectomy with patch angioplasty).And, the final patient disposition was discharged home on post operative day six.The review of manufacturing lot confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.No additional investigations of this reported complaint are planned.Endologix will continue to monitor this complaint and similar complaints in the event further investigation is needed.
