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 learned through implant patient registry that a 31mm 7300tfx mitral valve was explanted after an implant duration of 9 years, 11 months due to unknown reason.The explanted device was replaced with a 31mm 11400m mitral valve.The patient was in recovery post procedure.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 31mm 7300tfx mitral valve was explanted after an implant duration of (b)(6) due to calcification, thrombosis, and stenosis.The patient presented with shortness of breath.The explanted device was replaced with a 31mm 11400m mitral valve.The patient was transferred to icu in stable condition and discharged on pod #6.Hospital pathology report: gross exam of bioprosthetic mitral valve, 3 tan-yellow flexible valve leaflets.Sectioning of the leaflets reveals scant areas with focal calcifications.Diagnosis: mitral valve with surrounding calcifications, organized thrombus, and cholesterol clefting.Clinical history: mitral stenosis.
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.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.Thrombosis is a condition in which blood coagulates and creates what is commonly known as blood clots.Thrombosis can cause life-threatening conditions requiring immediate medical attention.Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis (bpvt) is one category of bioprosthetic valve dysfunction and is an increasingly recognized complication of tissue valve prosthesis.Bpvt usually occurs late after implantation and can be further categorized into two subcategories: clinical valve thrombosis (cvt) and subclinical valve thrombosis (slt).Clinical valve thrombosis is defined as clinically apparent prosthetic valve dysfunction with the typical finding of an increased transvalvular gradient with a mobile mass/thrombus on the prosthetic heart valve as visualized by echocardiography or multi-detector computed tomography (mdct).Valve thrombosis is a known potential risk associated with the use of bioprosthetic heart valves, which is included in the instructions for use (ifu), and there is no evidence to suggest a manufacturing non-conformance or defect contributed, thus no further evaluation is needed.Based on the information available, the most likely cause is patient factors.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.
