Based on the clinical assessment performed the type ib endoleak is confirmed.The most likely root cause is device related.The reported off label case is refuted; although, both iliac arteries were tortuous yet were within specifications.Procedure related harms could not be determined.The final patient disposition was not reported.The devices remain implanted in the patient and will not be returned; therefore, device evaluation will not be completed.The review of manufacturing lot confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.Endologix continues to investigate this event and similar events to ensure the highest quality and patient safety.(b)(4).
