Updated section b4 (date of this report), g3 (date received by manufacturer), h6 (component code), h6 (type of investigation), h6 (investigation findings) and h6 (investigations conclusions).H10: additional manufacturer narrative: the device history record (dhr) was reviewed and shows that this device met all manufacturing specifications for product release prior to distribution.No issues were identified that would have impacted this event.Thrombosis is a well-recognized complication of prosthetic devices.Device thrombosis is the formation of blood clots on the device/graft.There may be cases of incidental finding by imaging (ct scan) of thicken leaflets (halt) when the patient will benefit from a close follow-up and may be treated with oral anticoagulant.The instructions for use (ifu) have been reviewed and no inadequacies have been identified with regard to warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device.The reported type of event is included in the ifu.The most likely cause is patient factors.
