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 reported that a patient with a 25mm 8300ab aortic valve has been placed under evaluation for a valve-in-valve procedure after an implant duration of 8 years due to severely calcified leaflets, severe stenosis, and regurgitation.The patient presented with symptoms of heart failure.Per fcs, the patient is being evaluated for a transcatheter valve replacement at penrose hospital.Per vcc/fcs, the patient passed away this past weekend ((b)(6) 2026) prior to planned viv procedure.He had heart block related cardiac arrest and expired in the hospital.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated: g3, g6, h2, h6: (health effect impact, 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.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 hyperlipidemia.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 confirmed through investigation.
