At the completion of the clinical evaluation and based on the information received, there was substantial evidence to support the following observation: the type ia endoleak complaint is refuted and rather, there is a type ii endoleak from the inferior mesenteric artery.The complaint is most likely anatomy-related.Procedure-related harms for this complaint could not be determined, and the final patient status was not reported.The manufacturing lot review confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.These types of events will be monitored and trended as part of the quality system.
