Updated sections b5 and h6 per additional information received on 06/14/2022.Regurgitation which develops progressively over time can be due to a number of issues including patient related factors or structural valve deterioration.Structural valve deterioration (svd) can, and typically does, lead to chronic central leaks over a period of time.Svd is the most common reason for bioprosthesis explant and encompasses multiple failure modes, including calcification, noncalcific degeneration, dehiscence, cusp thickening or fibrosis, or a combination of these.Such failure modes may occur singularly or concomitantly.Central regurgitation can also develop progressively if host fibrotic tissue grows onto the bioprosthetic valve.Based on the information available, the complaint is unable to be confirmed and a definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined.An edwards defect has not been confirmed.
