It was learned through implant patient registry that a patient with a 23mm 11060a aortic valved conduit was explanted after an implant duration of 1 years, 5 months due to unknown reasons.The explanted valve was replaced with a 25mm 11060a valved conduit.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.

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.

It was learned through implant patient registry that a patient with a 23mm 11060a aortic valved conduit was explanted after an implant duration of 1 years, 5 months due to dehiscence with pseudoaneurysm.Patient presented with nyha class ii heart failure and fatigue.The explanted valve was replaced with a 25mm 11060a valved conduit.Per medical records, previous annular attachment dehiscence reported with pseudoaneurysm or entire aortic root complex.The patient underwent redo avr with pseudoaneurysm repair with a 25mm 11060a valved aortic conduit.The patient was taken to sicu in stable condition and discharged on pod#9.This is 62-year-old male patient 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 : b7, g3, g6, h2,h6 ( type of investigation) corrected sections : b5, h6 ( component code , clinical code, device code, investigation findings and investigation conclusions) dehiscence refers to the separation of the prosthetic valve from the surrounding heart tissue, typically at the sewing ring where the valve is sutured to the annulus.This separation can cause blood to leak around the valve (paravalvular regurgitation), reducing its effectiveness and straining the heart.This generally occurs due to patient-related anatomical factors, such as irregular anatomy, which may lead to increased stress on the surrounding tissue over time.This is often as a result of successive dilation of cardiac structures caused by progressions of valvular disease.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 irregular patient anatomy and improper seating and increased stress on the surrounding tissue over time, resulting in dehiscence.The reported patient conditions chd and htn likely contributed to the reported event 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.
