Event Description

It was reported that on an unknown date a trifecta valve was implanted.On (b)(6) 2024, the patient presented with shortness of breath and feeling of pressure on the chest.It was discovered that the patient had aortic stenosis.A 23mm navitor valve was implanted in a patient valve in valve procedure.The patient is stable.

Manufacturer Narrative

An event of shortness of breath, chest pain and aortic stenosis was reported.A more comprehensive assessment, including histopathological examination of the valve tissue could not be performed as a valve-in-valve was performed and the device remains implanted.However, based on the information received, the reported stenosis is consistent with structural valve deterioration (svd), specifically fibro-calcific svd (fcsvd), which is a well-known complication of tissue heart valve replacement surgery.A variety of factors may contribute to svd, including patient, biological, and implant related factors.No implant related factors could be confirmed from the information received from the field as information related to implant procedure was not provided.Biological factors which can result in stenosis such as calcification (from patient conditions predisposing to elevated calcium like renal disease etc.), immobilizing thrombus, or pannus formation reducing the valve diameter also could not be confirmed as the valve was not returned for histopathological examination.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 respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.
