Manufacturer Narrative

Hemorrhage (bleeding) is a known potential adverse effect associated with the implant of this device.Per the physician, the cardiac tamponade due to the clot and bleed were not caused by the valve, but rather were due to the procedure.A device history record review is not required as the complaint does not indicate a potential manufacturing issue.The valve remains implanted.
