It was learned through implant patient registry and investigation that a 21mm 11060a aortic valved conduit was explanted after an implant duration of 5 months due to severe aortic insufficiency in the presence of a pseudoaneurysm.The patient presented with heart failure.The explanted device was replaced with a 23mm 11060a aortic valved conduit.The patient was in recovery post procedure.Per medical records, tee showed mildly reduced lv function with pseudoaneurysm arising from the left side of the root, severe tr.Patient underwent re-do bentall in addition to tvr.The patient tolerated the procedure well.The patient was transferred to the icu intubated and hemodynamically stable condition.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: b4, g3, g6, h2, h6 (component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions).Regurgitation identified post-procedurally has many potential root causes, including structural valve deterioration (svd), non-structural valve dysfunction (nsvd), endocarditis and/or thrombosis.Regurgitation occurring during device implantation or post-procedurally is most commonly related to patient and/or procedural factors and is not typically an indication of a device malfunction related to a manufacturing non-conformance.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.H11: corrected data: e1 (first name).
