Event or Problem Description
|
|
An endurant ii stent graft system was implanted in a patient for the endovascular treatment of an unknown size abdominal aortic aneurysm.It was reported that the patient presented emergently approximately two years and nine months later with a type ib endoleak and aneurysm expansion.A secondary procedure was carried out and the stent graft limbs extended bilaterally into the external iliac arteries to resolve the type ib endoleaks.As per the physician, the cause of the event was due to the patient¿s anatomy.There was inadequate seal in the common iliac arteries causing the type ib endoleak.No additional clinical sequelae were reported and the patient is fine.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Additional information received during ct review: it was reported that the type ib endoleak was on the right ipsi limb and that this side was occluded as far as the bifurcation gate.The limb (b)(4) which was extended on the right and has migrated with a type ib endoleak and the contra limb on the left (b)(4) is 100 % occluded and also may have migrated although there was no endoleak evident.Film evaluation summary: the cause of the aaa expansion appears to have been due to the migration of the right limb extension out of the right common iliac artery, which led to the distal type i endoleak.The timing and exact cause of the migration could not be determined.The anatomy at implant is unknown, and earlier post-implant films were not provide for comparison.It is possible that disease progression (iliac artery dilatation) and aneurysm morphology changes (as evidenced by the high limb angulation) may have led to the bilateral limb migration.The cause of the left side stent graft and vessel occlusion could not be determined.The limbs were gradually angulated ~80 deg; however, no stent graft kinks or compression was observed.It is possible that vessel tortuosity or the limb migration out of the lcia may have contributed.The occlusion may also have been caused by a patient condition: poor distal runoff, an unknown coagulopathy that is now presenting, or a previous history of pad.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
