    COMPLAINT CONCLUSION: AS REPORTED IN THE LITERATURE ARTICLE, ZAVATTA, M., SQUIZZATO, F., BALESTRIERO, G., BONVINI, S., PERKMANN, R., MILITE, D., GREGO, F., ANTONELLO, M., & TRIVENETO INCRAFT REGISTRY COLLABORATORS (2020). EARLY AND MID-TERM OUTCOMES OF EVAR WITH AN ULTRA LOW-PROFILE ENDOGRAFT FROM THE TRIVENETO INCRAFT REGISTRY. JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY, S0741-5214(20)32469-1. ADVANCE ONLINE PUBLICATION. HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.1016/J.JVS.2020.09.044,IN 4 CASES WHERE AN INCRAFT AAA DELIVERY SYSTEM WAS IMPLANTED, DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF AN ENDOLEAK (EL) TYPE I B, AN ILIAC LIMB EXTENSION HAD TO BE POSITIONED. THE PRODUCT WAS NOT RETURNED FOR ANALYSIS. NO LOT NUMBER WAS PROVIDED THEREFORE A PRODUCT HISTORY RECORD (PHR) REVIEW COULD NOT BE GENERATED. THE REPORTED ¿BIFURCATED AORTIC PROSTHESIS ENDOLEAK TYPE 1B¿ COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED AS THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED FOR ANALYSIS. PROCEDURAL IMAGES WERE NOT PROVIDED FOR REVIEW. THE EXACT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. VESSEL CHARACTERISTICS ARE UNKNOWN. AS NO LOT NUMBER, CATALOGUE CODE OR OTHER PRODUCT INFORMATION WAS SUPPLIED A PHR COULD NOT BE COMPLETED. INITIAL TREATMENT WOULD INCLUDE BALLOON MOLDING OF THE DISTAL PROSTHESIS COMPONENTS, FOLLOWED BY USE OF AN EXTENSION IF NOT RESOLVED. ACCORDING TO THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ¿CAUTIONS: ONCE CRANIAL POSITION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, DO NOT MOVE THE PATIENT OR IMAGING EQUIPMENT, AS IT MAY COMPROMISE ACCURACY OF PROSTHESIS PLACEMENT. THE DIAGNOSTIC CATHETER CAN BE REMOVED PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT. HOWEVER, IF IT IS NOT REMOVED UNTIL AFTER DEPLOYMENT, ENSURE THAT THE TIP IS STRAIGHTENED (FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT IS PIGTAIL CATHETER) WITH A GUIDEWIRE BEFORE REMOVAL SO THAT THE PROSTHESIS IS NOT SUBJECT TO MIGRATION. WHEN ALIGNING THE POSITION OF PROSTHESIS, BE SURE THE FLUOROSCOPE IS ANGLED PERPENDICULARLY TO THE CENTER LINE OF THE INFRARENAL AORTA TO AVOID PARALLAX OR OTHER SOURCE OF VISUALIZATION ERROR THAT COULD IMPACT PROPER POSITIONING. SOME CRANIAL-CAUDAL ANGULATION OF THE IMAGE INTENSIFIER TUBE MAY BE NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THIS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS ANTERIOR ANGULATION OF THE ANEURYSM NECK. CAUTIONS: HIGH PRESSURE INJECTION OF CONTRAST MEDIA MADE AT THE EDGES OF THE PROSTHESIS IMMEDIATELY AFTER IMPLANTATION MAY CAUSE AN ENDOLEAK. LEAKS AT THE ATTACHMENT OR CONNECTION SITES SHOULD BE TREATED USING A BALLOON CATHETER TO REMODEL THE PROSTHESIS AGAINST THE VESSEL WALL. MAJOR LEAKS THAT CANNOT BE CORRECTED BY EITHER RE-BALLOONING MAY BE TREATED BY ADDING AORTIC OR ILIAC EXTENSION COMPONENTS TO THE PREVIOUSLY PLACED STENT-GRAFT COMPONENTS OR ANY OTHER METHOD PER LOCAL PRACTICE AND THE CLINICAL SITUATION. ANY LEAK LEFT UNTREATED DURING THE IMPLANTATION PROCEDURE MUST BE CAREFULLY MONITORED AFTER IMPLANTATION. NOTE: SIMILAR TO ILIAC LIMBS, THE AMOUNT OF OVERLAP IS ADJUSTABLE, HOWEVER, MINIMUM OVERLAP IS RECOMMENDED AS TO PREVENT THE POTENTIAL MULTIPLE OVERLAP OF THE BIFURCATE LEG, ILIAC LIMB, AND ILIAC EXTENSION, WHICH MAY RESULT IN FLOW RESTRICTIONS. IMPLANT THE ILIAC LIMB PROSTHESIS USED AS ILIAC EXTENSION, NOTE: WHEN USING ILIAC LEG EXTENSION, THE MINIMUM OVERLAP VARIES BY THE ILIAC LIMB SIZE BEING EXTENDED FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE INTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY INTERRUPTION POST PROSTHESIS DEPLOYMENT MAY RESULT IN BUTTOCK CLAUDICATION, BOWEL ISCHEMIA OR SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION. POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS AND POTENTIAL DEVICE RISKS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: ENDOLEAK.¿ THE VERY LIMITED INFORMATION AVAILABLE DOES NOT SUGGEST A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING RELATED CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED EVENT; THEREFORE, NO CORRECTIVE/PREVENTIVE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN AT THIS TIME.
