On (b)(6) 2021, a perceval valve pvs25 was implanted in a patient.The patient is recently diagnosed with pneumonia and started on antibiotic.The post-opt recovery was prolonged (still in icu due to thrombocytopenia).The patient has been under observation since 1 day postop until (b)(6) 2021.It is presently unknown if the patient recovered or is still under treatment.The patient¿s pre-operational assessment has no other comorbid condition beside the old age.The patient was tested with a support of a hematologist and the result tested nothing related to patient's platelet.The perceval valve was suspected as a possible contributing factor to thrombocytopenia.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device remains implanted.

Manufacturer Narrative

A complete manufacturing and material records review for the device has been performed.The results confirmed that the device satisfied all material, visual and performance standards required at the time of manufacture and release.Further investigation is ongoing.

Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the information available, it is not possible to draw a definitive root cause for the reported event.However, per the document review performed, no manufacturing deficiencies were identified with the perceval valve involved in the event.Thrombocytopenia (tcp) in cardiac surgery is a very well-known phenomenon.The etiology is multi-factorial due to multiple factors including hemodilution, blood loss with volume repletion with platelet-poor fluids, platelet activation, consumption and destruction due to contact with foreign surfaces.Tcp following aortic valve replacement (avr) is also a common phenomenon.Patient factors and prolonged extracorporeal circulation all being recognized predictors of tcp following cardiac surgery.Should any further information be received in the future, the manufacturer will provide an update to this reporting activity as applicable.
