H11: additional manufacturer narrative: attempts have been made to obtain product for evaluation.No device was returned.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 and investigation that a 23mm 11500a aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of four (4) years, and 10 months due to unknown reason.The explanted valve was replaced with a 23mm 11500a aortic valve.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.

Event or Problem Description

|
It was learned through implant patient registry and investigation that a 23mm 11500a aortic valve was explanted after an implant duration of four (4) years, and 10 months due to severe stenosis.The explanted valve was replaced with a 23mm 11500a aortic valve.Per medical record, the patient presented heart failure and dyspnea.The patient underwent redo-avr with 23mm inspiris valve, concomitantly had an mvr with a non-edwards device, and excision of right atrial mass.Post bypass echo showed prosthesis were well seated with no evidence of paravalvular leak.The patient was transferred to icu in stable condition.Pathology report showed explanted aortic valve with degeneration and calcification.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

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.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.Per the instructions for use (ifu), structural valve deterioration (svd) is a known potential risk associated with bioprosthetic heart valves.Based on the information available, the root cause remains indeterminable as no patient or procedural factors known to cause or contribute to svd were reported.A device history record (dhr) review [was performed, and no relevant non-conformances were identified.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.
