It was reported and through medical records, a patient with a 33mm 6900ptfx mitral valve implanted in the tricuspid position for three (3) years, seven (7) months, underwent valve-in-valve procedure due to severe tricuspid regurgitation and stenosis.Patient presented with acute on chronic diastolic heart failure.Ttvr was successfully performed with a 29mm 9755rsl transcatheter valve with good result and no complications.Patient left room in stable condition.

The device was not returned to edwards for evaluation as it remains implanted.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all events.Trends are monitored on a the investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.The investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.

Added information to h6.Based on the information available, the device was intentionally used outside the way it was designed and intended.The performance, safety, efficacy, longevity, and durability of bioprosthetic valves have not been determined when the product is used outside the scope of its intended use and/or its studied population.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 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.A device history record (dhr) review was performed, and no relevant non-conformances were identified.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 valve position and patient anatomy.
