TriVascular Recalls Ovation Prime Abdominal Stent Grafts Due to Injection Issue

TriVascular is recalling specific lots of Ovation Prime Abdominal Stent Grafts because the fill polymer syringe may empty rapidly during the implant procedure.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device with a functional defect that could impact the implant procedure, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

TriVascular, Inc. is recalling select lots of Ovation Prime Abdominal Stent Graft System 29mm Aortic Body stent grafts. These are low-profile endovascular devices delivered via catheter to treat descending abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).
