    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE FOLLOWING WAS REPORTED TO GORE: ON (B)(6) 2020, THE PATIENT PRESENTED WITH AN ANEURYSM IN THE LEFT ILIAC ARTERY AND UNDERWENT TREATMENT UTILIZING THREE GORE® EXCLUDER® ILIAC BRANCH ENDOPROSTHESIS (IBE) AND TWO GORE® VIABAHN® VBX BALLOON EXPANDABLE ENDOPROSTHESIS (VBX). THE INITIAL IBE DEVICE WAS SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED INTO THE LT COMMON ILIAC. A 16FR DRY SEAL SHEATH WAS THEN DRIVEN UP AND OVER THE AORTIC BIFURCATION ON A 180CM STIFF GLIDEWIRE ADVANTAGE® GUIDEWIRE AND POSITIONED IN THE IBE GATE. A 12FR GORE® DRYSEAL FLEX INTRODUCER SHEATH WAS THEN INSERTED INTO THE 16FR SHEATH AND ADVANCED UNTIL THE END OF THE 12FR SHEATH WAS OUT OF THE 16FR SHEATH. THE PHYSICIAN THEN ADVANCED A 180CM BENTSON WIRE THROUGH THE 12FR SHEATH AND CANNULATED THE LT INTERNAL ARTERY WITHOUT DIFFICULTY AND BURIED DEEP INTO THE POSTERIOR BRANCH AND CONFIRMED. THE BENTSON WIRE WAS THEN SWAPPED OUT, UTILIZING A COOK BEACON® TIP 5.0 FR ANGIOGRAPHIC CATHETER, FOR A ROSEN WIRE AND A MEASUREMENT WAS TAKEN TO DETERMINE VBX LENGTH OF 59MM. THE VBX WAS PREPPED AND SUCCESSFULLY LOADED ON TO THE ROSEN WIRE AND BEGAN ADVANCING THROUGH THE 12FR SHEATH TO THE TARGET LOCATION IN THE PROXIMAL PORTION OF THE POSTERIOR BRANCH OF THE LEFT INTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY. WHILE ADVANCING, THE PHYSICIAN MET RESISTANCE AT THE POSTERIOR BRANCH OSTIUM. THE PHYSICIAN DECIDED TO REMOVE THE DEVICE TO DILATE THE OSTIUM, UPON PULLING BACK, THE STENT CAME PARTIALLY OFF OF THE BALLOON AND REMAINED IN THE INTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY ANEURYSM. THE PHYSICIAN THEN INFLATED THE BALLOON TO 11 ATM, AND HALF OF THE STENT WAS DEPLOYED. THE BALLOON CATHETER WAS THEN REMOVED SUCCESSFULLY. A 0.035 NAVICROSS® SUPPORT CATHETER WAS THEN ADVANCED OVER THE ROSEN WIRE AND WAS EXCHANGED FOR A 0.018 PLATINUM PLUS WIRE. A 5MMX100MM STERLING¿ BALLOON CATHETER WAS ADVANCED TO THE UNDEPLOYED SECTION OF THE VBX AND EXPANDED TO 9MM. THE STERLING¿ BALLOON CATHETER WAS REMOVED AND THE NAVICROSS® SUPPORT CATHETER WAS ADVANCED OVER THE 0.018 PLATINUM PLUS WIRE BUT MET RESISTANCE ADVANCING INTO THE POSTERIOR BRANCH OSTIUM. A 6MMX60MM STERLING¿ BALLOON CATHETER WAS ADVANCED INTO THE POSTERIOR BRANCH OSTIUM AND EXPANDED TO 9 ATM. THE STERLING¿ BALLOON CATHETER WAS REMOVED AND THE NAVICROSS® SUPPORT CATHETER WAS ADVANCED ACROSS THE OSTIUM AND BURIED DEEP INTO THE POSTERIOR BRANCH. THE 0.018 PLATINUM PLUS WIRE WAS EXCHANGED FOR AN 0.035 AMPLATZ WIRE. A VBX DEVICE WAS ADVANCED SUCCESSFULLY THOUGH THE PREVIOUSLY DISLODGED STENT, THROUGH THE OSTIUM AND DEPLOYED AT THE PROXIMAL SEGMENT OF THE POSTERIOR BRANCH AND OVERLAPPED IN PREVIOUSLY PLACED VBX 2-3CM. THE LENGTH OF BOTH VBX DEVICES WERE POST-DILATED WITH AN 8MM VBX BALLOON. THE PHYSICIAN THEN REMOVED THE VBX CATHETER AND AN IBE COMPONENT (HGB161007) WAS ADVANCED THOUGH THE 12FR SHEATH AND DEPLOYED SUCCESSFULLY IN THE GATE OF THE IBE AT THE FLOW DIVIDER AND OVERLAPPED INTO THE PREVIOUSLY DISLODGED VBX STENT APPROXIMATELY 5CM. A MOB37 MOLDING BALLOON WAS ADVANCED AND INFLATED. ANTEGRADE INJECTION SHOWED FULL EXPANSION OF STENTS AND SUCCESSFULLY PROXIMAL SEAL INTO IBE DEVICE AND DISTAL SEAL IN THE POSTERIOR BRANCH AND EXCLUSION OF THE INTERNAL ILIAC ANEURYSM. FINALLY THE IPSILATERAL LIMB OF THE IBE DEVICE WAS SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYED. AN ANGIOGRAM CONFIRMED SUCCESSFUL DEPLOYMENT. THE PATIENT TOLERATED THE PROCEDURE. PATIENT INFORMATION WAS REQUESTED, BUT IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
