Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the clinical assessment for this event, the most likely cause of the reported occlusion was determined to be user related, due to the off-label use of the device as an aorto-uni-iliac device with a femoral-femoral bypass graft (intentional user error) in combination with pre-existing disease (chronic right common iliac occlusion) and current medical history of tobacco.No procedure-related contributing issues could be determined due to the lack of medical information surrounding the implant procedure.The patient was discharged home with anticoagulation therapy on the sixth post-operative day.A review of the device quality records shows that the device demonstrated compliance to established procedures and specifications at the time of manufacture.(b)(4).
