Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Based on the clinical assessment for this event, the most likely cause of the occlusion within the device was found to be user related, due to the off-label aortic anatomy.The continued tobacco use and pre-existing outflow disease of the left lower extremity of the patient also likely contributed to the event.There were no procedure related harms identified.The patient was discharged home stable on the first 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.
