Based on the clinical assessment for this event, the most likely cause of the loss of seal was found to be anatomy related due to the pre-existing calcifications in the right common iliac artery.Procedure related harms could not be identified due to a lack of medical records surrounding the secondary procedure.The final patient disposition was reported to be in favorable condition and there have been no additional patient sequelae reported.A review of the device quality records shows that the device demonstrated compliance to established procedures and specifications at the time of manufacture.Codes: (b)(4).
