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 type 3a endoleak and iliac limb implant separation event is unconfirmed due to a lack of the relevant medical information.The secondary endovascular procedure was performed on the (b)(6) 2020.Device, user, procedure or anatomy relatedness of this event could not be determined.Procedure related harms for this event post the secondary endovascular procedure were ischemic left leg requiring additional surgical procedures and acute respiratory failure which were resolved during the hospital stay.The final patient status was discharged on the 14th hospitalization day to a skilled nursing facility.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 afx with duraply.Corrections: h6: result remove code 3233.H6: conclusion remove code 11.
