Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Additional narratives there may be cases when a transcatheter intervention is indicated or performed.Although there are multiple root causes, valves are typically treated because they are not functioning optimally.A valve-in-valve procedure carries significant risk.The device was not returned for evaluation, as it remains implanted.The investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.
