It was reported that a model 2700tfx 27mm pericardial aortic valve was disabled via a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 7 years, 9 months due to stenosis.The patient was presented with shortness of breath, orthopnea, fatigue, le edema.A 9600tfx 29mm transcatheter valve was successfully implanted.The patient was monitored in the ccu post procedure for a day and discharged home under stable conditions at pod #1.This is a 67-y-o male with a history of hfpef, htn, tobacco use disorder, prior avr.

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.

H10: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections: b4, d4, g3, g6, h2, h4, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, and investigation conclusions).The device history record (dhr) review was completed, and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.There were no issues 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 potentials known and unknown patient-related contributing factors.Per technical summary 33069, rev a, structural valve deterioration (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, occurring singularly or concomitantly, may contribute to stenosis and/or regurgitation.Alternatively, non-structural valve dysfunction (nsvd) may also play a role in the development of valvular stenosis.Stenosis 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.All pertinent information available to edwards lifesciences has been submitted.
