Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The subject device is not available for evaluation, as it remains implanted in the patient.The investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all reported events.Trends are monitored on a monthly basis and if action is required, appropriate investigation will be performed.
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient with a 27mm 2700tfx aortic valve implanted for 4 years and 11 months underwent a valve-in-valve procedure due to stenosis.Patient presented with shortness of breath.The procedure was performed successfully with a 29mm 9600tfx transcatheter valve.Patient tolerated procedure well and transferred to recovery.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Updated sections: a1, a4, b5, b7, d4 expiration date, h4, h6 health effect - clinical code, device code(s), type of investigation, investigation findings, and investigation conclusions.The device history record was reviewed and shows that this device met all manufacturing specifications for product release prior to distribution.No issues were identified that would have impacted this event.Calcific degeneration is a common cause of bioprosthetic heart valve failures.Many factors contribute to the onset and propagation of calcification.These include patient factors (age, disease state, pharmacological intervention, etc.), mechanical stress related to the valve's hemodynamic performance, and glutaraldehyde fixation of tissue.Of these, the fixation process is a relatively minor contributor to calcification for edwards' tissue valves due to anti-calcification treatments during manufacturing.Though numerous studies have been conducted on preventive calcification strategies in bioprosthetic heart valves, the causes of calcification are not fully understood and there are still no mechanisms or medical therapies which fully prevent bioprostheses from calcifying.Through further investigation, it was determined that a definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined; however, patient factors likely caused or contributed.
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient with a 27mm 2700tfx aortic valve implanted for 4 years and 11 months underwent a valve-in-valve procedure due to leaflets appeared thickened and calcified with severe stenosis.The patient presented in acute congestive heart failure.The procedure was performed successfully with a 29mm 9600tfx transcatheter valve.Patient tolerated the procedure well and transferred to recovery and was discharge on pod #2.
