Additional Manufacturer Narrative

At the completion of the clinical evaluation, based on the information received there was unsubstantial evidence to support the following reported events; a iliac aneurysm enlargement and a secondary procedure.The most likely cause of the distal right loss of seal was the off-label iliac anatomy even with an off-label use of infra-renal stent in the right common iliac artery.No procedure related harms detected.The final patient disposition could not be ascertained due to lack of medical information surrounding the discharge procedure.The manufacturing record review did not reveal any issues or deviations that would explain the reported event.The manufacturing records confirm that the lots met all requirements prior to release.Device remains implanted in the patient and was not returned, no evaluation completed.Endologix continues to investigate this event and similar events to ensure the highest quality and patient safety.
