Event Description
|
Edwards received notification that a 11400m25mm valve implanted in mitral position had a thrombus in two leaflets of the mitral valve (cerebrovascularthrombosis 5-10 mm hg, with extending thrombus in the left atriaum (la) and lining the interatrial septum measuring at least 26x15 mm, with a thickness measured ad 18 mm) twelve days after valve implantation, leading to thickening of these two leaflets and stenosis (maximum mitral valve gradient 24 mmhg, average mitral valve gradient 12mmhg).Reportedly, the thrombosis was related with heparin induced thrombocytopenia (hit).The patient decided not to have surgery and was only medically treated.As reported, patient was noted as to be under patient care b (prolonge life under limited care) without cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) and without intubation.

Manufacturer Narrative

Added information to section d4 (expiration date) and h4 (device manufacturer date) updated section b4 (date of this report), g3 (date received by manufacturer), h6 (device 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.
