Manufacturer Narrative

The instructions for use (ifu) lists cardiovascular injury that may require intervention (including perforation or dissection of vessels, ventricle, myocardium or valvular structures, annular tear or rupture) as a potential risk associated with the overall tvr procedure. Cardiac aneurysms have been reported as a rare complication following surgical or transcatheter valve replacement. This type of defect in the cardiac tissues or aortic wall can result from trauma during percutaneous valve implantation or additional in-valve balloon dilation on a heavily calcified native valve. Percutaneous/surgical intervention may be required. In this case, there was no allegation or indication a device malfunction contributed to this adverse event. The exact cause of the aneurysm post procedure is unknown, however many be due to patient/procedural factors. The ifu and training manuals have been reviewed and no inadequacies have been identified with regards to warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device. Complaint histories for all reported events are reviewed against trending control limits on a monthly basis, and any excursions above the control limits are assessed and documented as part of this monthly review. No corrective or preventative actions are required.

Event Description

As reported, approximately 3 days post transcatheter pulmonic valve replacement (tpvr) with a 23mm sapien 3 valve, an aneurysm was observed, and a covered stent was implanted to repair the pulmonary artery aneurysm. Next, a 2nd valve was placed within the covered stent. The patient is stable post procedure.
