An event of leaflet dislodgement during procedure and explanted was reported.The valve was returned with leaflets intact.Both leaflets were able to fully open and close with no resistance occurring.The valve was able to be rotated freely.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed, and the product met all specifications.The root cause of the leaflet dislodgement could not be conclusively determined; there was no evidence of material defect in the carbon coating that may have caused or contributed to the dislodged leaflet.The reported patient effects and unexpected medical intervention was result of case-specific circumstances as the valve was removed and another valve was implanted.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.Per the information available abbott cannot further speculate on why the reported event occurred.
