Event or Problem Description

It was learned through implant patient registry and medical record that a 31mm 11400m mitral valve was explanted and replaced with a 29mm 11400m mitral valve after an implant duration of 1 year, 1 month, and 5 days due to severe perivalvular leak.The patient presented with fatigue.Per medical records, patient presented with fatigue and was found to have pvl of previously plugged mitral valve, and lv pseudoaneurysm.Intraoperatively, mitral valve was excised along with multiple plugs.Posterior mitral annular calcification was noted and debrided.A 29mm 11400m valve was sutured into place with no evidence of pvl.Concomitantly, the tricuspid ring was explanted and replaced with a 33mm valve due to leaflet malcoaptation with severe regurgitation.Patient was weaned from bypass without difficulty.All valves seated well.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.

H11.Additional narrative surgical/percutaneous intervention is indicated or performed, or harm occurred due to the device, or there is a device malfunction that could cause or contribute to a serious injury.This event is considered a serious injury.The device was not returned for evaluation, as device request is ongoing.The investigation is still in progress; therefore, a conclusion has yet to be established.A supplemental report will be submitted accordingly upon investigation completion.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H11: additional manufacturer narrative: updated sections: b4, g3, g6, h2, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, and investigation conclusions).The device history record (dhr) review was completed, and this device passed all manufacturing and sterilization inspections prior to release for distribution.There were no issues identified that would have impacted this event.Engineering evaluation summary: per doc-0562670, paravalvular/perivalvular leak (pvl) refers to blood flowing through a channel between the sewing ring of the implanted valve and the cardiac tissue due to an insufficient seal of the valve to the annulus.Per doc-0562670, in the early postoperative period, the highest incidence of pvl has been seen in patients developing infective endocarditis, which is most likely attributed to inadequate peri-operative antibiotic prophylaxis or nosocomial infection.Annular calcification is also a risk factor for the development of peri-operative pvl, as the bioprosthesis may not seat properly after debridement.Technique related factors during implantation, such as incorrect valve sizing, have been shown to contribute to the development of pvl.Anatomical factors may also create difficulty seating the bioprosthetic valve, resulting in pvl.The anatomy of the annulus may induce mechanical stresses along the rigid bioprosthetic ring which can influence long-term valve performance and durability.A diseased or rigid annulus can potentially increase the mechanical stress on the prosthetic valve, leading to pvl.There is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing defect caused or contributed to the reported event.There is insufficient information available regarding patient or procedural factors known to cause or contribute to pvl.Therefore, a definitive root cause cannot be conclusively determined.
