    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    (B)(4). A THOROUGH ANALYSIS COULD NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE THE DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED. FAILURE TO SEAL THE PERFORATION (THE REPORTED LEAK) MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO SEVERAL FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, STENT GRAFT FOIL DAMAGE, PATIENT ANATOMICAL MORPHOLOGY, PRODUCT SIZE SELECTION, DEPLOYMENT TECHNIQUE (NON-CENTRAL POSITIONING OF STENT GRAFT OVER PERFORATION OR INADEQUATE OVERLAPPING), INTERFERENCE FROM PREVIOUSLY DEPLOYED DEVICES, OR GROWTH OF PERFORATION DURING DEPLOYMENT. THE STENT REMAINS IN THE ANATOMY, AND THE PRODUCT WAS NOT RETURNED, WHICH MAY HAVE AIDED IN THE EVALUATION. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE STENTS WERE NOT POSITIONED CORRECTLY IN THE ANATOMY TO PROPERLY SEAL THE PERFORATION. HOWEVER AS THIS CANNOT BE CONFIRMED, A CONCLUSIVE CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE TO SEAL THE PERFORATION CANNOT BE DETERMINED. REPORTEDLY, AFTER THE GRAFTMASTER STENT WAS IMPLANTED, THE PATIENT EXPERIENCED CARDIOGENIC SHOCK AND CARDIAC TAMPONADE. DUE TO THE INHERENTLY SERIOUS AND EMERGENT USE OF THE GRAFTMASTER DEVICE, THE PERFORATION ITSELF AND/OR THE FAILURE TO TREAT THE PERFORATION MAY HAVE POSSIBLY RESULTED IN CASCADE OF PATIENT EFFECTS AND ADDITIONAL TREATMENTS. THE PATIENT WAS SENT FOR SURGERY; HOWEVER, LATER PASSED AWAY. DEATH IS LISTED IN THE OTW GRAFTMASTER INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AS KNOWN ADVERSE EVENTS OF CORONARY STENTING PROCEDURES. A CONCLUSIVE CAUSE FOR THESE REPORTED PATIENT EFFECTS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE DEVICE, IF ANY, CANNOT BE DETERMINED. ALTHOUGH A CONCLUSIVE CAUSE CANNOT BE DETERMINED FOR THE REPORTED FAILURE TO SEAL AND THE REPORTED PATIENT EFFECTS, THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY INDICATION OF A PRODUCT QUALITY DEFICIENCY. DURING MANUFACTURING, ALL STENT DELIVERY SYSTEMS ARE 100% LEAK-TESTED AND VISUALLY INSPECTED FOR FOIL DAMAGE AND PROPER PLACEMENT.
