Event Description
|
It was reported that approximately 16 months after the procedure for the aneurysm at the right internal carotid, digital subtraction angiography (dsa) showed a non-optimal position of the fusiform aneurysm component of the internal carotid artery (ica) after dissection, provided by the flow diverter.Then approximately 2 months later, a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) of the flow diverter was performed several times to treat the dissection aneurysm.Good dilation result showed in the proximal flow diverter section, however no relevant enhancement in the distal end.Approximately 2 years after the initial procedure, dsa showed the depletion of the proximal lumen of the flow diverter increased again compared to right after the pta.And the flow diverter tapered lute-like towards the proximal end.The remaining partly incomplete wall adaption of the flow diverter with sufficient lumen and flow was not changed, not progressive.Intracranial perfusion also appeared unchanged and unaffected.In the physician¿s opinion, the event was related to the implanted flow diverter.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device history record review confirms that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The subject device was not returned for analysis; therefore, physical as well as a functional testing could not be performed.Information available indicated that the device was confirmed to be in good condition prior to use.Based on the information currently available, the exact cause for the reported event of flow diverted failure to open cannot be determined.The reported event could not be confirmed; however, secondary stenosis is a known risk associated with endovascular procedures and noted as such in the device directions for use (dfu).Therefore, an assignable cause of anticipated procedural complication was assigned to this event.
