H10: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections: d4 (expiration date), g3, g6, h2, h4, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, and 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.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.The instructions for use (ifu) have been reviewed, and no inadequacies have been identified with regards to warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device.The reported type of event is included in the ifu.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 coronary artery disease (cad), history of coronary artery bypass graft (cabg), and chronic kidney disease (ckd).
