Event Description
|
It was learned through implant patient registry and investigation that a 23mm 11500a aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of 8 months due to valve dehiscence secondary to history of endocarditis.The explanted valve was replaced with a 23mm non-edwards mechanical valve.Per medical records, the patient has history of endocarditis and developed complicating valve dehiscence.She underwent a redo avr and bentall procedure, the 23mm 11500a was explanted and replaced with a non-edwards 23mm on-x mechanical valve.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Device dehiscence may occur early or late.When it occurs in the early post-operative period, it is typically a result of inadequate device implantation in combination with friable myocardial tissue.Late dehiscence can occur as a result of successive dilatation of cardiac structures that result from progression of disease.Valve dehiscence is not a malfunction related to a manufacturing deficiency of the device.The root cause of this event was determined to be due to patient related factors, including the history of endocarditis.Attempts have been made to obtain product for evaluation.No device was returned as it was not available.The device history record (dhr) review was completed and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.There were no issues identified that would have impacted this event.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all reported events.Trends are monitored on a monthly basis and if action is required, appropriate investigation will be performed.
