The AI's read

The reported failures can disrupt use of Edwards' heart-valve delivery systems and raise safety concerns. The risk is especially serious because patients receiving these valves may not be able to undergo open-chest surgery. The recall covers specific lots, and other lot numbers remain safe to use, but that does not erase the reported death and injury.
