Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was initially treated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) with the afx abdominal aortic aneurysm stent.Approximately eight (8) months post a re-intervention, a type 1a was identified per a ct (computed tomography) scan.The physician will continue to monitor the patient who is reportedly in stable condition.This patient has had two (2) previously reported events: 2031527-2016-00282 was previous reported type 3a endoleak.The physician elected to implant an infrarenal stent graft to resolved this event.2031527-2019-00277 for previous reported type iiib endoleak however has been confirmed as type ii endoleak with sac growth (non- device related failure), the physician elected to implant another bifurcated stent graft and a suprarenal stent graft extension.

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, clinical was able to find substantial evidence to support the reported event of the type 1a endoleak.The event is most likely user related due to the aortic neck length of 3 mm is outside the ifu (should be greater than or equal to 15 mm), and the previously placed stent grafts is a cautionary product use condition.During review of the computed tomography (ct scan), clinical also identified sac growth of 21 mm which is most likely due to the type 1a endoleak.No procedure related harms were identified.The final patient status was reported as being monitored.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, correction: b5: describe event or problem has been updated.H6: device code: remove code 3190.H6: result code: remove code 3233.H6: conclusion code: remove code 11.
