Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
At the completion of the complaint investigation, based on the information received, a clinical assessment was able to confirm the type 3a endoleak with complete component separation.Additionally the clinical assessment identified the patient had a rupture prior to the initial implant which possibly contributed to the pulmonary edema and extended hospitalization following the initial repair procedure.The most likely cause of the type 3a endoleak with component separation is unknown, however it is likely the tortuous aortic anatomy and subsequent remodeling contributed to this event.The most likely cause of the complete component separation was also unknown, but it was likely that the non contrasted surveillance contributed to this event (cautionary product use condition).The devices remain implanted in the patient and were not available for further review.The review of the 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.
