Date of Event	01/26/2023
Type of Reportable Event	Serious Injury
Event or Problem Description
It was learned through implant patient registry that a patient with a 25mm 6900ptfx valve underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 5 years, 4 months due to unknown reason.The procedure was performed with a 26mm 9750tfx transcatheter valve.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 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 learned through implant patient registry that a patient with a 25mm 6900ptfx mitral valve underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 5 years, 4 months due to stenosis.The patient presented with heart failure, and shortness of breath.The procedure was performed with a 26mm 9750tfx transcatheter valve.The patient was stable post procedure and was discharged on pod#8.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
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.Stenosis, which develops progressively over time, can be due to a number of issues.Additionally, there can be a number of potential known and unknown patient related contributing factors.Structural valve deterioration (svd) is the most common reason for bioprosthesis explants and encompasses multiple failure modes, including calcification, non-calcific degeneration, dehiscence, cusp thickening or fibrosis, or a combination of these.Such failure modes may occur singularly or concomitantly, may contribute to stenosis and/or regurgitation.Alternatively, nonstructural dysfunction (nsvd) may also play a role in the development of valvular stenosis.Through further investigation, it was determined that the root cause of this event was most likely due to patient related factors.
