Event or Problem Description

It was learned through implant patient registry that a patient with a 21mm 3000tfx aortic valve underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 7 years, 5 months due to unknown reasons.The procedure was performed with a 23mm 9750tfx transcatheter valve.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.

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.

It was learned through implant patient registry and investigation that a patient with a 21mm 3000tfx aortic valve underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 7 years, 5 months due to stenosis.Patient presented with dyspnea.The procedure was performed with a 23mm 9750tfx transcatheter valve.Patient was stable and was discharged on pod#1.This is a 68-year-old female patient.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.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections: b7, g3, g6, h2, h6 (type of investigation) corrected sections: b5, h6 (component code, clinical code, device code, investigation finding, investigation conclusion).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.The most likely root cause is patient-related factors, including hyperlipidemia (hld), coronary artery disease (cad) and history of coronary artery bypass graft (cabg).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.
