MAUDE Adverse Event Report: EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES EDWARDS SAPIEN XT TRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE; PULMONARY VALVE PROSTHESIS, PERCUTANEOUSLY DELIVERED

Model Number	9300TFX23A
Medical Device Problem Code	Fluid/Blood Leak (1250)
Health Effect - Clinical Code	Insufficient Information (4580)
Date of Event	12/29/2025
Type of Reportable Event	Serious Injury
Event or Problem Description
As reported by an edwards lifesciences field clinical specialist, approximately 7 years post implantation of a 23mm sapien xt valve in the pulmonic position, a valve in valve with a 23mm sapien 3 valve was performed due to central pulmonic regurgitation.Patient symptoms not provided.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation is underway.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
A supplemental mdr is being submitted due to engineering evaluation findings.Sections: g3, g6, h2, h6 type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions have been updated.The event reported is anticipated in the risk management documentation for transcatheter heart valve procedures.A previous investigation into this type of event is captured in an edwards lifesciences technical summary and applies to this complaint.Additional assessment of the failure mode is not required at this time.The device was not returned for evaluation.Due to the unavailability of the complaint device, engineering was unable to perform any visual inspection, functional testing, or dimensional analysis.Per the technical summary, the instructions for use (ifu), training manuals and current risk mitigations have been reviewed.No inadequacies have been identified with regards to warnings, contraindications, and the directions/conditions for the successful use of the device.The reported central leak worsening was confirmed based on the available information to date.The reported event does not allege a malfunction that could be related to an edwards manufacturing deficiency.A review of the ifu and training manuals revealed no deficiencies.During the manufacturing process, all sapien xt valves are 100% visually inspected for defects and 100% tested for proper coaptation under physiological backpressure conditions prior to release for distribution.Therefore, it is highly unlikely that a manufacturing defect or device malfunction contributed to the event.Per the instructions for use (ifu), valve regurgitation is a known potential adverse event associated with bioprosthetic heart valves and the transcatheter valve replacement (thv) procedure.Regurgitation which develops progressively over time can be due to a number of issues including patient related factors or structural valve deterioration, including calcification, non-calcific degeneration, leaflet thickening or fibrosis, or a combination of these.Regurgitation may also develop progressively if host fibrotic tissue, or pannus, grows onto the bioprosthetic valve.Pannus, a cause of nonstructural dysfunction, may interfere with functionality of the device by restricting the leaflet motion leading to abnormal coaptation.Due to limited information was provided, a definitive root cause was unable to be determined at this time.Complaint histories for all reported events are reviewed against trending control limits monthly, and any excursions above the control limits are assessed and documented as part of this monthly review.Since no edwards product defects or labeling deficiencies were identified, no corrective or preventative action is required.
