Event or Problem Description

|
It was learned through implant patient registry and investigation that a patient with a 25mm 8300ab aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of 7 years, 7 months due to poor leaflet mobility causing stenosis and moderate to severe regurgitation.The patient presented with sob and chest pain.The patient was taken to the icu post procedure.Edwards lifesciences maintains an implant patient registry.This registry is a patient tracking mechanism for serialized edwards implantable devices (bioprosthetic heart valves and annuloplasty rings), rather than a true post-market surveillance registry.Through the registry, edwards is notified when these devices are implanted.In addition, patient and/or device status may be reported to the registry via the implantation data cards.The information is received from various sources (e.G.Surgeon, hospital, and patient family members) and is not received in the form of a conventional 'customer complaint'.The information reported may or may not be related to the edwards device.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections h6 (investigation findings, investigation conclusions).Leaflet immobility or restricted motion has many potential root causes, including structural valve deterioration (svd), non-structural valve dysfunction (nsvd), endocarditis and/or thrombosis.Leaflet immobility or restricted motion occurring post-procedurally is typically related to patient and/or procedural factors and is not typically an indication of a device malfunction related to a manufacturing deficiency.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.Based on the information available, the most likely cause is patient factors, including chronic kidney disease (ckd), hyperlipidemia (hld) , diabetes mellitus (dm), and coronary artery disease (cad).The subject device is not available for evaluation as it was discarded.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.H11: corrected data: corrected section h6 (type of investigation).
