Event occurred in (b)(6).Peripheral thromboembolism, post-operative-early.Pt complained of sudden pain in right lower limb on (b)(6).Emergency thrombectomy was performed.Echo did not reveal apparent thrombosed valve, no intracardiac thrombus was observed.Holter ekg detected frequent pac's (premature atrial contractions).Inr on date of event was subtherapeutic at 1.45.Heart valve remains implanted and functioning normally.This event falls within the definitions in the aats/sts guidelines as a valve-related event and is therefore reportable.It is an expected adverse event, as defined in the objective performance criteria in fda heart valve guidance, and iso 5840, and this occurrence is within expected rate.No trend is seen.On (b)(6) 2015, onxlti received a set of data from the sponsor of a (b)(6) post-market study, where-in they wanted on-x to do data analysis on a set of data containing adverse events.The valve on this mdr is one of the ae's.Once analyzed against the entire population in the (b)(6) study (only avr has enough data for proper analysis) and then comparing to the pma.You get the following results.Event: thromboembolism, (b)(6) study (%/ptyr): 0.71, pma study (%/ptyr): 1.7.Thrombosis, 0.00, 0.00.Endocarditis, 0.61, 0.5.Paravalvular leak, 0.40, 0.7.Bleeding, 1.21, 0.7.Pannus, 0.00, 0.00.Composite te and bleed, 1.92, 2.4.Sudden death, 0.20, 0.20.There are no statistically significant differences in these rates and this trial was run at inr of 1.5 to 2.5 versus the pma at 2.0 to 3.0.At lower inr low rates are expected based on our research.So these events while mdr reportable as individual occurrences, they are overall in the range expected.
