Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10: additional narratives surgical/percutaneous intervention is indicated or performed, or harm occurred due to the device, or there is a device malfunction that could cause or contribute to a serious injury.This event is considered a serious injury.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.
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient with a 33mm valve in tricuspid position is being evaluated for a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 6 years, 8 months due to leaflet thickening, motion restricted, high gradient, and moderate regurgitation.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device history record (dhr) review was completed and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.Based on the information available, the device was intentionally used outside the way it was designed and intended.The performance, safety, efficacy, longevity, and durability of rings and bioprosthetic valves have not been determined when the product is used outside the scope of its intended use and/or its studied population.Tissue degeneration-related structural deterioration, either calcific or non-calcific, are common chronic failure modes for this type of bioprosthetic heart valve.Operational mechanical stress and biological factors are generally believed to be the major contributors to the non-calcific bioprosthetic tissue degeneration.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.Degeneration-related structural deterioration is most commonly related to patient factors and is not usually an indication of a device malfunction.A definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined; however, patient factors likely caused or contributed.
