As reported in a research article, periprocedural stroke, major bleeding, implantation of permanent pacemaker, endocarditis, structural failure, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation and re-operation was found in recipients of prosthetic heart valves.A more comprehensive assessment could not be performed as the event was non-contemporaneously reported through a literature review and no device was received for analysis.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined.
