It was learned through the implant patient registry that a 29mm 6900p mitral valve, was explanted after an implant duration of six (6) years, eleven (11) months due to unknown reason.The explanted valve was replaced with a 27mm 11400m valve.The patient was taken to recovery post procedure.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.

H10: additional manufacturer narrative: the subject device is not available for evaluation, as the device status is unknown at this time.Request was denied.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.

It was learned through the implant patient registry that a 29mm 6900p mitral valve, was explanted after an implant duration of six (6) years, eleven (11) months due to stenosis.The patient presented with shortness of breath.The explanted valve was replaced with a 27mm 11400m valve.The patient was taken to recovery post procedure.

The device history record (dhr) review was completed and there were two non-conformances found related to this serial number.However, the valve was re-worked to completion, passing all inspections.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 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 related to a manufacturing deficiency.The instructions for use (ifu) have been reviewed and no inadequacies have been identified with regard to warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device.The reported type of event is included in the ifu.The most likely cause is patient factors, including a history of diabetes mellitus (dm).
