At the completion of the complaint investigation, based on the information received, the clinical assessment refuted device migration and concluded there was a malposition of the suprarenal cuff.Additionally the clinical evaluation found atrophy of the right kidney, right renal artery stenosis from the stent fabric placement of a stent in the left renal artery.The most likely cause of the device encroachment was user-error; the fabric of the suprarenal cuff appeared to be placed above the renal ostia during the implant procedure.There was no evidence migration.The devices remain implanted in the patient and were not available for further evaluation.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.
