Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that a patient with a 21mm 11500a aortic valve in the pulmonic position underwent a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of four (4) years and one (1) month due to regurgitation.The patient presented with fatigue.The procedure was performed with a 23mm 9755rsl transcatheter valve.The patient was in stable condition post procedure.

H11.Additional narrative/data.The device was not returned for evaluation, as it remains implanted.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.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections g3, g6, h2, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, 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 is a common manifestation of bioprosthetic valve and valved conduit dysfunction.Common intraoperative factors that may cause or contribute to acute post-procedural regurgitation include device distortion; device interaction with patient anatomy or other devices; leaflet damage, and incorrectly sized valve seated.Non-structural valve dysfunction (nsvd), endocarditis and/or thrombosis may also cause or contribute to acute post-procedural regurgitation.Complaints reported with regurgitation as the primary complaint code are not typically attributed to manufacturing-related nonconformances.Based on the information available, the most likely root cause is patient factors, including patient age at implant and tetralogy of fallot.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.Per the instructions for use (ifu), reoperation/explant are known potential adverse events associated with bioprosthetic cardiac valves and annuloplasty rings.A device history record (dhr) review was performed, and no relevant non-conformances were identified.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.
