Bioprosthetic tissue valves can deteriorate with time and eventually fail contributing to regurgitation and/or stenosis.Structural valve deterioration (svd) is the most common reason for bioprosthesis explants and encompasses multiple failure modes, including calcification, non-calcific degeneration, dehiscence, cusp thickening or fibrosis, or a combination of these.Such failure modes may occur singularly or concomitantly.Alternatively, nonstructural dysfunction (nsvd) may also play a role in the development of valvular regurgitation and/or stenosis.In this case, minimal information regarding this valve replacement procedure was received and attempts to obtain additional information regarding the condition of the device, patient's medical history, or possible comorbidities have been made.The root cause of this event cannot be determined with the available information.However, this event was most likely impacted by the progression of the patient's underlying valvular disease pathology with or without structural valve deterioration and/or nonstructural dysfunction.Requests for additional information have been performed.The healthcare provider has neither returned the explanted valve nor provided any additional information at this time.The device was not returned for evaluation.If returned, a supplemental report including the evaluation findings will be submitted.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all events.Trends are monitored on a monthly basis and if action is required, appropriate investigation will be performed.If new information becomes available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
