|
It was reported via the implant patient registry that this patient with a 6900ptfx 29mm valve, implanted for four (4) years and three (3) months, underwent a valve-in-valve procedure due to unknown reasons.The tmvr was performed with a 9600tfx 29mm.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.
