Event or Problem Description

It was reported via the implant patient registry that a 36mm mitral ring, implanted for four (4) years and six (6) months, was explanted due to severe 4+ insufficiency.The patient presented with dizziness and occasional palpitations.The explanted device was replaced with a 25mm bioprosthetic valve.The patient was discharged home in good condition on pod #6.The implantation data card indicated that the device explant was due to deficiency of the original device.Edwards lifesciences maintains an implant patient registry.This registry is a patient tracking mechanism for serialized edwards implantable devices (bioprosthetic heart valves and annuloplasty rings), rather than a true post-market surveillance registry.Through the registry, edwards is notified when these devices are implanted.In addition, patient and/or device status may be reported to the registry via the implantation data cards.The information is received from various sources (e.G.Surgeon, hospital and patient family members) and is not received in the form of a conventional "customer complaint." the information reported may or may not be related to the edwards device.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The causes of re-operation or percutaneous intervention for failed annuloplasty repairs are well documented in the literature.Re-operations are primarily the result of a progression of disease or technical failures and are not related to product malfunctions.Unlike prosthetic heart valves, annuloplasty rings are an adjunct to the valve repair.The device was not returned for evaluation, as device request is still ongoing.The investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.
