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.A definitive root cause is unable to be determined, however, patient and/or procedural 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.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 learned through implant patient registry and medical records that a patient with a 29mm 2700tfx aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of seven (7) years, eleven (11) months due to stenosis.The explanted valve was replaced with a 27mm 11500a inspiris relisa aortic valve.Patient tolerated procedure well and was discharged on same day.This is a 43-year-old male 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.
