Event Description

It was reported that a patient with a 23mm 8300ab inspiris valve underwent valve-in-valve intervention after an approximate implant duration of six (6) years due to aortic stenosis and regurgitation.The patient initially presented with shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, and dizziness.The patient was in stable condition post procedure and discharged home on pod #1.The tavr procedure was performed with a 23mm 9750tfx transcatheter valve.

Manufacturer Narrative

Stenosis, which develops progressively over time, can be due to a number of issues.Additionally, there can be a number of potential known and unknown patient-related contributing factors.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 related to a manufacturing deficiency.The instructions for use (ifu) have been reviewed and no inadequacies have been identified with regards to warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device.The reported type of event is included in the ifu.A capa/scar/pra is not required as there are no confirmed product or labeling nonconformances and no other triggers are met.A definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined; however, patient factors likely caused or contributed.
