Event or Problem Description
It was reported and learned through investigation that a patient with a 25mm 8300ab aortic valve underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of eight (8) years, six (6) months due to calcification, degeneration, and stenosis.The patient presented with symptoms of heart failure - shortness of breath.The procedure was performed with a 26mm 9755rsl transcatheter valve successfully.Patient was in stable condition post procedure and was discharged on pod #6.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections g3, h6 (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.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 history of chemo six months ago, hyperlipidemia (hld), and metabolic syndrome.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) was not reviewed as the reported event does not allege a malfunction that could be related to an edwards manufacturing deficiency and/or one was not suspected or confirmed through investigation, no labeling non-conformance/deficiency; no use-related issue with a hazardous situation; no device-related infection; and no evidence of a product failure with regard to design, reliability, or use error.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.
