Event Description
|
Since one month post-implantation of a first graft on (b)(6) 2014 (see medical device report 1640201-2018-00030), the patient has had an extremely complex clinical presentation with recurrent fever of unknown origin, recurrent pyelonephritis due to ureteral compression with placement of dj stents and discovery of graft/ureter conflict.A second graft (the subject of this report) was implanted on (b)(6) 2016 and symptoms continued.The patient has been the subject of numerous investigations.A "contact vasculitis" to dacron grafts was diagnosed.All investigations made by the hospital are described in the attached file.The affected grafts were not explanted from the patient yet.

Manufacturer Narrative

(4315) the hospital performed an allergy workup on the patient with samples of our grafts.All tests remained negative.The hospital concluded that, to date, there is no evidence of specific sensitization but a range of arguments in favor of an abnormal reaction of the patient to the grafts.The cause of the patient's reaction remains undetermined.However, the outcome of the investigation suggests that the involved grafts were not defective at the time of manufacturing and that an allergy to bovine collagen or polyester can be reasonably excluded.
