Additional Manufacturer Narrative
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.
Event or Problem Description
It was learned through implant patient registry that a patient with a 21mm 3300tfx aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of 8 years, 7 months due to calcification, pannus and stenosis.The patient presented with sob.The explanted valve was replaced with a 23mm 11500a valve.The patient was in stable condition post-procedure.Per pathology report provided, the valve cusps are freely mobile, with focal areas of calcification and with gross moderate peripheral leaflet pannus.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 g3, g6, h2, h6 (investigation findings, investigation conclusions).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.Despite the advancements in the heart valve industry, svd commonly begins 7- 8 years after implantation, with a considerably increased rate in patients with pertinent comorbidities and/or an implant duration of greater than 10 years.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.Pannus is a non-immune inflammatory reaction of the body to the implanted prosthesis, characterized by proliferation of fibroelastic tissue and collagen, with a starting point in the suture area and subacute or chronic centripetal evolution.Pannus can have both beneficial and harmful effects depending on the amount of growth and location.A small amount of host tissue growth over the suture line is expected and is needed to form a non-thrombogenic surface and complete the healing process after device implantation.In contrast, an excessive amount of pannus growth can cause nonstructural dysfunction that may require intervention.Host tissue growth can extend onto the cusp surfaces leading to thickening of the cusps, cusp retraction or curling, leaflet immobility, and/or abnormal coaptation, potentially resulting in valvular regurgitation, elevated gradients, and/or stenosis.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 an implant duration of 7 or more years and ckd, hld, dm.Pannus/host tissue overgrowth is most likely due to patient factors and is unlikely to be related to a manufacturing non-conformance.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.The most likely root cause is patient factors.Device was discarded.The instructions for use (ifu) have been reviewed, and no inadequacies have been identified regarding warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device.The reported type of event is included in the ifu.The device history record (dhr) was not reviewed as the reported event does not allege a malfunction that could be related to an edwards manufacturing deficiency and/or one was not suspected or confirmed through investigation, no labeling non-conformance/deficiency; no use-related issue with a hazardous situation; no device-related infection; and no evidence of a product failure with regard to design, reliability, or use error.Edwards will continue to review and monitor all events.Trends are monitored on a monthly basis and if action is required, appropriate investigation will be performed.If new information becomes available, a supplemental report will be submitted.H11: corrected data: h6 (type of investigation).
