Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The manufacturing lot evaluation confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.The device was not returned as the device remains implanted therefore no evaluation was completed.At the completion of the clinical assessment, the right iliac graft occlusion resulting in an axillary to femoral bypass procedure is confirmed.The event is most likely user related due to the patient having pre-existing aorto-iliac occlusive disease (critical stenosis at the bifurcation), the distal circulation to the bilateral lower extremities were severely compromised prior to the evar procedure, the patient required thromboembolectomies and fasciotomies during the procedure and continued use of methamphetamine and nicotine.There were no procedure related harms identified attributed to the device.The patient was discharged on the sixth hospitalization day home and stable following right leg bypass surgery and right internal and external iliac thromboembolectomies.No additional investigation of this reported event is planned however if additional information pertinent to the incident is obtained, a follow-up report will be submitted.Endologix will continue to monitor this complaint and similar complaints in the event further investigation is needed.Device iteration is afx2.Corrections: g1,2: contact office- contact has been updated h6: result code: remove code 3233 h6: conclusion code: remove code 11.
