Film evaluation summary; the exact cause of the reported inability to advance the limb when attempting to load the device into the sheath and resulting bent tip could not be determined from the pre-implant films provided.Images during implant were not returned and the reported event could not be assessed, and ct¿s post-implant were also not available for return.Review of pre-implant ct¿s confirmed that the patient had a 53mm max diameter infrarenal aaa, as well as aneurysmal right and left common iliac arteries.The calcified distal aorta was 20mm in diameter, and the iliac arteries were moderately tortuous and extensively calcified; bilaterally.Other than the calcified distal aorta and iliac arteries, analysis of the returned films did not reveal any anatomical characteristics that could explain the reported event.Analysis of the device could not be performed since not available for return; thereby limiting the extent of the analysis.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
