Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: 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 reported that a patient with a 21mm 3000 aortic valve underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of nine (9) years due to stenosis secondary to calcification.The procedure was performed with a 23mm 9755rsl transcatheter valve with great result.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated section h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions).Calcific degeneration is a common cause of bioprosthetic heart valve failures.Many factors contribute to the onset and propagation of calcification.These include patient factors (age, disease state, pharmacological intervention, etc.), mechanical stress related to the valve's hemodynamic performance, and glutaraldehyde fixation of tissue.Of these, the fixation process is a relatively minor contributor to calcification for edwards' tissue valves due to anti-calcification treatments during manufacturing.Though numerous studies have been conducted on preventive calcification strategies in bioprosthetic heart valves, the causes of calcification are not fully understood and there are still no mechanisms or medical therapies which fully prevent bioprostheses from calcifying.Calcification is most commonly related to patient factors and is not usually an indication of a device malfunction.The root cause of this event cannot be conclusively determined with the available information.The calcification observed in this case was most likely due to a progression of the patient's underlying valvular disease pathology combined with the patient's other underlying risk factors.The subject device is not available for evaluation as it remains implanted in the patient.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.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.
