    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    PRODUCT ANALYSIS: THE PRODUCT REMAINS IMPLANTED, THEREFORE NO PRODUCT ANALYSIS CAN BE PERFORMED. CONCLUSION: PER THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU), CONDUCTION DISTURBANCES ARE A POTENTIAL PROCEDURAL COMPLICATION AND ARE ASSOCIATED WITH ANY CARDIAC OR THORACIC PROCEDURE, OPEN OR CATHETER-BASED, AND CAN BE RESOLVED WITH MEDICAL TREATMENT OR THE IMPLANT OF A PERMANENT PACEMAKER. ACCORDING TO LITERATURE REVIEW AND THE VALVE ACADEMIC RESEARCH CONSORTIUM (VARC), THE CLOSE ANATOMICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE AORTIC VALVE COMPLEX AND THE BRANCHING ATRIOVENTRICULAR BUNDLE MAY PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION FOR THESE COMPLICATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE. OTHER FACTORS THAT COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE ONSET OF CONDUCTION DEFECTS INCLUDE UNDERLYING HEART DISEASE, ELECTROLYTE DISTURBANCES AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS (I.E. BETA BLOCKERS, CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS). IN THIS CASE, THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE REPORTED CLINICAL OBSERVATION CANNOT BE CONFIRMED. (B)(4).
