Event or Problem Description
It was reported that a patient with a 23 mm 2700 aortic valve, implanted in the pulmonic position, underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 6 years, 9 months due to severe regurgitation, stenosis and degeneration.The patient presented with dyspnea and fatigue.The tpvr was performed with a 23mm 9750tfx transcatheter valve.The patient was in stable condition post procedure.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated: b4, g3, g6, h2, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions).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.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 patient age at implant.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.
