SHORT-TERM OUTCOMES FOLLOWING TRANSCATHETER VALVE-IN-VALVE IMPLANTATION WITH PORTICO OR NAVITOR VALVES: THE BARTS HEART CENTER EXPERIENCE. CATHETERIZATION AND CARDIOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS. HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.1002/CCD.70176 THIS IS ONE OF TWENTY MANUFACTURER REPORTS BEING SUBMITTED FOR THIS ARTICLE. REFER TO REPORT NUMBER ID 2015691-2025-09502, 2015691-2025-09503, 2015691-2025-09504, 2015691-2025-09548, 2015691-2025-09536, 2015691-2025-09549, 2015691-2025-09505, 2015691-2025-09563, 2015691-2025-09567, 2015691-2025-09569, 2015691-2025-09582, 2015691-2025-09550, 2015691-2026-10730, 2015691-2026-10739, 2015691-2026-10752 AND 2015691-2026-10753 FOR ADDITIONAL EVENTS WITHIN THE SAME ARTICLE. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU) HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND NO INADEQUACIES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH REGARD TO WARNINGS, CONTRAINDICATIONS, AND THE DIRECTIONS/CONDITIONS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL USE OF THE DEVICE. THE REPORTED TYPE OF EVENT IS INCLUDED IN THE IFU. STRUCTURAL VALVE DETERIORATION (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. SVD COMMONLY OCCURS WITH A CONSIDERABLY INCREASED RATE AFTER 10 YEARS. PRIOR INVESTIGATIONS AND EXTENSIVE LITERATURE REVIEW HAVE SHOWN THAT IT IS PREDOMINANTLY RELATED TO PATIENT FACTORS AND IMPLANT DURATION RATHER THAN TO MANUFACTURING ISSUES. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST A MANUFACTURING DEFECT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED EVENT. BASED ON THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE, THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS PATIENT FACTORS, INCLUDING AN IMPLANT DURATION OF 10 OR MORE YEARS. 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.
