Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that a patient with a 27mm 2700tfx aortic valve, implanted in the pulmonic position, underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of nine (9) years, two (2) months due to stenosis.The procedure was performed with a 26mm 9600tfx transcatheter valve.The valve was successfully implanted with no complications.

H11.Additional manufacturer narrative: the device was not returned for evaluation, as it remains implanted.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.

H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated d4 (expiration date), g3, h2, h6 (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.Based on the limited information available, a definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined; however, patient and/or procedural factors likely caused or contributed.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 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.All pertinent information available to edwards lifesciences has been submitted.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 reported and learned through medical records, a patient with a 27mm 2700tfx aortic valve, implanted in the pulmonic position, underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of nine (9) years, two (2) months due to symptomatic moderate neo-pulmonary stenosis and regurgitation.Patient presented with dyspnea on exertion.The procedure was performed with a 26mm 9600tfx transcatheter valve.The valve was successfully implanted with no complications.The patient was transferred to cvicu in stable condition.

Based on the information available, the device was intentionally used outside the way it was designed and intended.The performance, safety, efficacy, longevity, and durability of bioprosthetic valves have not been determined when the product is used outside the scope of its intended use and/or its studied population.Regurgitation is a common manifestation of bioprosthetic valve and valved conduit dysfunction.Common intraoperative factors that may cause or contribute to acute post-procedural regurgitation include device distortion; device interaction with patient anatomy or other devices; leaflet damage, and incorrectly sized valve seated.Non-structural valve dysfunction (nsvd), endocarditis and/or thrombosis may also cause or contribute to acute post-procedural regurgitation.Complaints reported with regurgitation as the primary complaint code are not typically attributed to manufacturing-related nonconformances.A device history record (dhr) review was performed, and no relevant non-conformances were identified.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.Based on the information available, the most likely root cause is patient factors, including tetralogy of fallot.
