Through implant patient registry it was learned that a 33mm 11400 mitral valve was explanted on pod# 3 due to recurrent perivalvular leak.The explanted valve was replaced with a 31mm 11400m valve.Per medical records, patient experienced paravalvular leak post-implantation of the 33mm mitral valve and had redo-mvr with a 31mm 11400 valve.Post bypass tee showed all the valves were competent.The patient was sent back to cvicu.On pod#9 the patient required pacemaker placement.

The device history record (dhr) review was completed and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.Regurgitation is considered to be a perivalvular leak (pvl) if a turbulent eccentric jet originates between the bioprosthetic sewing ring and the annulus.Pvl can occur in the mitral and aortic position for similar reasons.In the early postoperative period, the highest incidence of pvl has been seen in patients developing infective endocarditis, which is most likely attributed to inadequate peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis or nosocomial infection.Annular calcification is also a risk factor for the development of peri-operative pvl as the bioprosthesis may not seat properly after debridement.Technique related factors, such as incorrect valve sizing, have been shown to contribute to the development of pvl.Anatomical factors may create difficulty seating the bioprosthetic valve resulting in pvl.The anatomy of the annulus may induce mechanical stresses along the rigid bioprosthetic ring which can influence long-term valve performance and durability.A diseased or rigid annulus can potentially increase the mechanical stress on the prosthetic valve, leading to pvl.The instructions for use (ifu) have been reviewed and no inadequacies have been identified with regards to warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device.The reported type of event is included in the ifu.A definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined; however, patient and/or procedural factors likely caused or contributed.
