    DEVICE NOT RETURNED. ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTS TO RECEIVE FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE DEVICE, THE EXPLANTED DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED TO EDWARDS FOR ANALYSIS. THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD (DHR) REVIEW WAS COMPLETED AND THIS DEVICE PASSED ALL MANUFACTURING AND STERILIZATION INSPECTIONS. WITHOUT RETURN OF THE DEVICE, EDWARDS IS UNABLE TO CONFIRM THE CLINICAL OBSERVATION. REGURGITATION WHICH DEVELOPS PROGRESSIVELY OVER TIME CAN BE DUE TO A NUMBER OF ISSUES INCLUDING PATIENT RELATED FACTORS OR STRUCTURAL VALVE DETERIORATION. HOWEVER, ADVANCES IN VALVE DESIGN AND BIOPROSTHETIC MATERIAL HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE INTENTION OF REDUCING PERIVALVULAR OR CENTRAL LEAKS BY PROVIDING MORE EFFICIENT HEMODYNAMICS AND LONGER TISSUE DURABILITY. EDWARDS WILL CONTINUE TO REVIEW AND MONITOR ALL EVENTS. TRENDS ARE MONITORED ON A MONTHLY BASIS AND IF ACTION IS REQUIRED, APPROPRIATE INVESTIGATION WILL BE PERFORMED.

    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. IN THIS CASE, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THIS AORTIC VALVE WAS EXPLANTED AFTER AN IMPLANT DURATION OF TEN (10) YEARS, EIGHT (8) MONTHS DUE TO REGURGITATION FROM A TORN LEAFLET AT THE NON-CORONARY POST. THIS WAS REPLACED WITH A 23MM PERICARDIAL BIOPROSTHESIS. NO ADDITIONAL DETAILS PROVIDED.
