Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11.Additional narrative/data.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 27mm 8300ab intuity aortic valve system underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of four (4) years and five (5) months days due to mild-moderate stenosis, moderate-severe paravalvular leak.The patient was presented with heart failure.The procedure was performed with a 26mm 9755rsl transcatheter valve with pvl closure using 8mm amplatzer.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections g3, h6 (component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions).Pvl: paravalvular/perivalvular leak (pvl) refers to blood flowing through a channel between the sewing ring of the implanted valve and the cardiac tissue due to an insufficient seal of the valve to the annulus.In the early postoperative period, the highest incidence of pvl has been seen in patients developing infective endocarditis, which is most likely attributed to inadequate peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis or nosocomial infection.Annular calcification is also a risk factor for the development of peri-operative pvl, as the bioprosthesis may not seat properly after debridement.Technique related factors during implantation, such as incorrect valve sizing, have been shown to contribute to the development of pvl.Anatomical factors may also create difficulty seating the bioprosthetic valve, resulting in pvl.The mechanism behind late pvl is not well understood but may be related to cardiac remodeling.The anatomy of the annulus may induce mechanical stresses along the rigid bioprosthetic ring which can influence long-term valve performance and durability.A diseased or rigid annulus can potentially increase the mechanical stress on the prosthetic valve, leading to pvl.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.Pvl is a known potential adverse event associated with bioprosthetic heart valves, which is included in the instructions for use (ifu).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.Stenosis: 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 diabetes mellitus (dm).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.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.
