H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated: b4, g3, g6, h2, h6 (component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions) stenosis is a common manifestation of bioprosthetic valve and valved conduit dysfunction and has many potential root causes, including structural valve deterioration (svd), non-structural valve dysfunction (nsvd), endocarditis and/or thrombosis.Bioprosthetic device stenosis is typically related to patient and/or procedural factors and is not typically an indication of a device malfunction related to a manufacturing deficiency.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.Attempts to retrieve additional information were unsuccessful.A definitive root cause is unable to be determined, however, patient factors likely caused or contributed.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.
