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.A clinical assessment confirmed, the urgent event of a ruptured aorta, a type iiia aortic endoleak with complete component separation, and a secondary endovascular procedure with non-endologix implants.The type 3a endoleak is most likely anatomy related due to aortic remodeling.No aortic angle was observed at 1month post implant, 104° aortic angle was present at 39month post implant.The neck angle should be less than 60°.The rupture was likely due to the type iiia endoleak.Procedure related harms for this event could not be determined.The final patient status was reported being stable.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- name has been updated h6 device code remove 3190 h6: result code: remove code 3233 h6: conclusion code: remove code 11.
