Film evaluation summary; the exact cause of the reported infected aorta and resulting sepsis could not be determined from the returned films.The pre-implant films were not available for review.The returned films confirmed the reported disease progression of the aorta.During the 14- month implant duration there had been significant dilatation of the distal aorta, leading to distal stent graft migration and a resulting type ib endoleak.The source of the reported aortic infection could not be determined, and it is possible that the infection may have contributed to the disease progression.No stent graft integrity issues were observed in the returned films.Month and year valid.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
