Event Description

It was reported that a patient with a 23mm 11500a aortic valve, implanted in the pulmonary position, underwent a valve in valve procedure after an implant duration of three years and seven months due to stenosis and regurgitation.The tpvr was completed with a 26mm 9750tfx valve.The patient tolerated the procedure well.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device history record (dhr) review was completed, and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.There were no issues identified that would have impacted this event.Based on the information available, the device was intentionally used outside the way it was designed and intended.The performance, safety, efficacy, longevity, and durability of rings and bioprosthetic valves have not been determined when the product is used outside the scope of its intended use and/or its studied population.Stenosis, which develops progressively over time, can be due to a number of issues.Additionally, there can be a number of potentials known and unknown patient-related contributing factors.Per technical summary 33069, rev a, structural valve deterioration (svd) is the most common reason for bioprosthesis explant and encompasses multiple failure modes, including calcification, noncalcific degeneration, dehiscence, cusp thickening or fibrosis, or a combination of these.Such failure modes, occurring singularly or concomitantly, may contribute to stenosis and/or regurgitation.Alternatively, non-structural valve dysfunction (nsvd) may also play a role in the development of valvular stenosis.Stenosis is most commonly related to patient factors and is not usually an indication of a device malfunction.A definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined; however, patient factors likely caused or contributed.All pertinent information available to edwards lifesciences has been submitted.
