  • Causa
    This particular subset of stent grafts is more strongly susceptible to variations in permeability with respect to endoleak (endocurrent) observed during the initial implantation procedure. during the procedure implantation, this variation in permeability may lead the physician to categorize the type iv endoleak (which usually resolves spontaneously over time) as an acute endoleak of type iii material since leakage may act focally or localized instead of diffuse (redness). this classification as acute endoleak of type iii material may lead to unnecessary follow-up interventions. this variation in permeability is limited to the subgroup of products of 23 mm and 25 mm, which are produced with specific production batches of graft materials. this withdrawal does not affect any other models or serial numbers endurant / endurant ii stent-graft system with bifurcation. although the incremental risk associated with the affected endurant / endurant ii sub-stentgraft subgroup with bifurcation is low, there is still the potential for unnecessary follow-up treating a suspected acute type iii endoleak, which may actually be a type iv endoleak, which resolves spontaneously over time. medtronic begins this withdrawal to downplay the above risk by removing unused affected products. medtronic received 20 applications between may 2015 and january 2017 related to the above observed acute leakage of type iii material, which led to additional interventions during procedure. two (2) adverse events were reported. it is reported that the death of one patient occurred 3 weeks after the surgery, but it is unclear whether the death was associated with the subsequent surgery.
