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 3b endoleak from the distal bifurcated stent graft event, sac growth and rupture were identified.The type 3b endoleak is most likely user related due to the off-label, concomitant use of an ovation extender in the right iliac artery.The procedure related harms identified was a prolonged hospitalization.The final patient status was discharged on the sixth (6) post-operative 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 afx2 corrections: h6: result remove code 3233 h6: conclusion remove code 11.
