Concomitant medical products: product id: etlw1613c124e, serial/lot #: (b)(4), ubd: 01-jun-2014, udi#: (b)(4).Evaluation summary: the reported proximal type i endoleak was confirmed; however, the exact cause of the type i endoleak and aaa expansion could not be determined from the films provided.The anatomy at implant is unknown, and earlier post-implant films were not provided for comparison.Films after intervention with an aortic cuff and additional iliac limbs, which reportedly resolved the endoleak, were also not available for review.It is possible that disease progression (neck dilatation) led to the inadequate proximal seal.It is also possible that the multiple coils seen within the distal aaa sac on the posterior wall, which appeared to be in contact with the posterior side of the contra limb near an area of sac contrast, may have also contributed to the reported aaa increase.Although a distal type i endoleak cannot be ruled out, this distal sac contrast appears most likely to have been from a contra limb type iiib fabric endoleak caused by abrasion from the coils.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
