Event Description

It was reported that a 33mm 11400m valve in the mitral position was explanted after an implant duration of twenty-six (26) days due to severe mitral regurgitation secondary to mitral valve dehiscence and endocarditis re-infection.The patient presented with septic shock and cardiogenic shock.The explanted valve was replaced with another 33mm 11400m valve.Per medical records, patient had been placed on va-ecmo due to cardiogenic with elevated wbcs with evidence of right sided pneumonia.Patient was reported to be in multisystem organ failure.Visualization of the valve upon removal, there was fibrinous slough on the valve that was suspicious for infectious material.The posterior annulus appeared highly friable with significant amounts of slough, and was concerning for annular infection.Large bites incorporating some left atrial tissue were taken from the posterior mitral annulus.All material was debrided and a new 33mm mitris valve was sutured into place.The valve was seated well in the annulus.The aortic valve was inspected with no visualized infection of the valve.The patient was highly coagulopathic and the patient went to va-ecmo due to inability to wean from bypass.The patient was transported in critical condition to icu on completion of the procedure.

Manufacturer Narrative

There may be cases in which our devices are implanted in a patient with active native valve or prosthetic valve/ring endocarditis.In these cases, it is not unusual to have a recurrence of endocarditis that results either in death or removal of the newly implanted device.When this occurs, the organisms causing the endocarditis were never completely eliminated; therefore, the event is not related to the newly implanted device.Per (b)(4), rev o, an engineering evaluation is not required because there is no allegation of a malfunction which could be related to a manufacturing non-conformance and/or one was not suspected or confirmed through investigation; no labeling non-conformance/deficiency; no use-related issue with a hazardous situation; no device-related infection; and no evidence of a product failure with regard to design, reliability, or use error.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.Per (b)(4), rev o, and (b)(4), rev o, a capa/scar/pra is not required as there are no confirmed product or labeling non-conformances and no other triggers are met.The most likely cause is patient factors, including valve re-infection.
