Event Description

Edwards received notification that a 7300tfx29mm valve implanted in the mitral position was explanted after approximately two (2) years due to thrombosis leading to regurgitation.Patient was 12 years old.A mechanical valve was implanted in replacement.Per clinical observation, one of the reasons was likely an inadequate anticoagulant therapy because the patient's family were not administering aspirin as directed.
