Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was initially treated with the ovation ix stent graft system for an abdominal aortic aneurysm.Approximately four (4) months post-op the patient presented for a routine follow-up with possible right leg claudication.An angiogram was completed revealing a popliteal artery aneurysm with limited flow in the right leg and the right iliac limb positioned lower than the left.In addition the right iliac limb appeared to be pinched proximally.The physician elected to treat the patient with non-endologix products; self expanding stent implanted into the right iliac limb which provided adequate flow.Furthermore, the patient will undergo an additional treatment for the unrelated popliteal artery aneurysm on a later date.The patient will continue to be monitored.
