Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Based on the clinical assessment for this event, the most likely cause of the occlusion of the left iliac limb was found to be unknown/undetermined due to the lack of medical records and imaging surrounding the event.The uneven positioning of the iliac limb radiopaque markers and subsequent possible narrowing of the proximal aspect of the left limb may have contributed to this event, however, this could not be definitively determined with the available imaging.The final patient disposition was discharged post-operative day three in good condition following the secondary endovascular procedure.A review of the device quality records shows that the device demonstrated compliance to established procedures and specifications at the time of manufacture.
