At age (b)(6), an open mitral commissurotomy was performed due to rheumatic mitral stenosis.At age (b)(6), the patient underwent a mitral valve replacement (mvr), and a 29mm sjm mechanical heart valve implanted due to infectious endocarditis.At age (b)(6), a paravalvular leak (pvl) was noted, as well as aortic stenosis and regurgitation (asr) deterioration.A double valve replacement was performed for the aortic valve and the mitral valve.For the mitral valve replacement, the 29mm sjm mechanical heart valve was explanted and replaced with a 25mm non-abbott tissue valve.For the aortic replacement, a 21mm non-abbott tissue valve was implanted.One year after the double valve replacement surgery, prosthetic valve endocarditis (pve) occurred, and the patient was treated conservatively.Nineteen years the double valve replacement surgery at age (b)(6), there was structural valve deterioration (svd) of both non-abbott valves and cardiac insufficiency.The patient underwent another surgery, and the mitral valve, aortic valve, and tricuspid valve were replaced.A 27mm sjm epic valve was implanted in the mitral position, a 23mm sjm epic valve was implanted in the aortic position, and a 25mm sjm epic valve was implanted in the tricuspid position.

An event of paravalular leak, aortic stenosis, and regurgitation after about seven years after implant was reported.A more comprehensive assessment could not be performed as the event was non-contemporaneously reported through a literature review and no device or additional patient information was received for analysis.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined.There is no indication of a product quality issue with regards to manufacture, design, or labeling.
