It was learned through patient support center that a patient with a 33mm 7300tfx mitral valve, implanted in the tricuspid position, underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 4 years, 9 months due to calcification and severe leak.Patient presented with heart failure , shortness of breath and fluid retention.The procedure was performed with 29mm 9755rsl transcatheter valve.

H11: additional manufacturer narrative: 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.

H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections : b7, g3, g6, h2,h6 ( type of investigation) corrected sections : b5, h6 ( component code , device code, investigation findings and 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.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.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, including heart failure, implant position, history of iv drug abuse, and smoking.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.
