Event Description
|
Related manufacturer reference number: (b)(4).The article, "bioprosthetic pulmonary valve dysfunction in congenital heart disease", was reviewed.This article is a retrospective single study experience that aims to identify the incidence and timing of dysfunction and failure of stented bioprosthetic valves in the pulmonary position in congenital heart disease patients.Perimount magna, magnaease (edwards life sciences) , trifecta, biocor, epic aortic, supra aortic and mitral valves (abbott) and mosaic, mosaic ultra, mosaic ultra cinch valves (medtronic) were associated with this study.The article concluded porcine stented and bovine pericardial stented valves can be implanted in the pulmonary position in all age groups safely.However, despite similar rates of valve failure, bovine pericardial stented valves have a higher incidence of valve dysfunction at mid-term follow-up.[the primary and corresponding author of this article is (b)(6) md, division of cardiothoracic surgery, (b)(6) university school of medicine, (b)(6).

Manufacturer Narrative
|
As reported in a research article, complications form having a porcine valve implanted included stroke, cardiac arrest, renal failure, bleeding, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use, reintubation, endocarditis, pacemaker implant, mediastinal reoperation, thromboembolic event, valve failure due to pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary insufficiency, atrial fibrillation, and paravalvular leak.A more comprehensive assessment could not be performed as the event was non-contemporaneously reported through a literature review and no device was received for analysis.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported incident could not be conclusively determined.Please note, per the instructions for use for a biocor valve arten(b)(4) revision c "precautions:¿ the safety and effectiveness of the biocor¿ and biocor¿ supra valves have not been established for the following specific populations.Patients requiring pulmonic or tricuspid valve replacement" please note, per the instructions for use for a epic valve arten(b)(4) revision a "precautions: the safety and effectiveness of the epic¿ and epic¿ supra valves have not been established for the following specific populations.Patients requiring pulmonic or tricuspid valve replacement.".
