Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was initially treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) with the ovation ix abdominal aortic aneurysm stent.During the initial procedure, the physician also repaired the patient's right iliac artery (distal to the ovation limb), and a perforation was seen on angiogram.Therefore, the physician implanted two (2) vbx (non-endologix) stents; this is an off-label procedure due to noncompatible use of ovation with a non-endologix device.This report is to address the intraoperative perforation event.A few hours post initial procedure, the patient was noted to still be bleeding.The physician elected to treat the patient by implanting an additional ovation ix iliac limb device.The patient reportedly tolerated the procedure well.As of date, there have been no additional patient sequelae reported.Reference mfr.Report # 3008011247-2020-00023 for postoperative bleeding event.

Clinical assessment was completed based on the received medical records.The reported perforation of the right external iliac (distal to the ovation limb) and right femoral artery repair are confirmed.The event is most likely user related as the initial procedure was off label as the right iliac artery was reported to be 6.0cm and the left iliac artery was 4.0cm (should be 8-25mm), and the off label concomitant device use of non endologix stents (2 viaban stents placed in the right external iliac artery).The procedure related harms identified were a secondary endovascular procedure, abnormal bleeding, hemodynamic instability, acute renal failure, respiratory failure and a prolonged hospitalization.The final patient status was discharged to in patient rehabilitation on post operative day eleven in stable condition.The device remains implanted; therefore, a device evaluation cannot be completed.The manufacturing lot evaluation confirmed all devices met specifications prior to release.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.It should be noted that the procedural related harms were reported under mfr.Report # 3008011247-2020-00023.Corrections: h6: device code - 3190 remove.H6: result code ¿ remove 3233.H6: conclusion code ¿ remove 11.
