Event or Problem Description
|
|
An ovation ix abdominal stent graft system was implanted to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm.Upon polymer fill of the aortic body stent graft, the polymer syringe was observed to have emptied.The patient experienced hypotension evidenced by a drop in blood pressure, and was successfully treated for an anaphylactic reaction per the device ifu.The final angiogram showed the presence of a type ia endoleak that could not be resolved following ballooning.There have been no additional patient sequelae reported and the patient will continue to be monitored.
