MAUDE Adverse Event Report: EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CARPENTIER-EDWARDS PERIMOUNT PLUS MITRAL PERICARDIAL BIOPROSTHESIS; REPLACEMENT HEART VALVE

Model Number	6900PTFX
Medical Device Problem Codes	Calcified (1077); Insufficient Device Problem Information (3190)
Health Effect - Clinical Codes	Dyspnea (1816); Insufficient Information (4580)
Date of Event	02/04/2025
Type of Reportable Event	Serious Injury
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.
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient with a 25mm 6900ptfx mitral valve underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of seven (7) years, two (2) months due to unknown reasons.The procedure was performed with a 26mm 9755rsl transcatheter valve.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections b4, g3, h2, h6 (component code, health effect - clinical code, device code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions).Svd is a logical and expected consequence of the chemical, mechanical, and immunological processes associated with bhv implantation.The common endpoint of all these factors is calcification and degradation.Svd is an acquired condition, intrinsic to bioprosthetic valves, characterized by deterioration of the leaflets or supporting structures, leading to thickening, calcification, tearing, or disruption of the prosthetic valve materials.These changes result in valvular dysfunction manifesting as stenosis and/or regurgitation with a consequent drop in hemodynamic efficacy of the valve.Despite the advancements in the heart valve industry, svd commonly begins 7- 8 years after implantation, with a considerably increased rate in patients with pertinent comorbidities and/or an implant duration of greater than 10 years.Prior investigations and extensive literature review have shown that svd is predominantly related to patient factors and implant duration rather than to manufacturing issues.Events related to device design, manufacturing, or use error tend to manifest at an earlier implant duration.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 an implant duration of 7 or more years and a history of coronary artery disease.Per the instructions for use (ifu), structural valve deterioration (svd) is a known potential risk associated with bioprosthetic heart valves.A device history record (dhr) review is not required because there is no allegation of a malfunction which could be related to a manufacturing non-conformance and/or one was not suspected or confirmed through investigation; no labeling non-conformance/deficiency; no device-related infection; and no evidence of a product failure with regard to design, reliability, or use error.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.
