Medtronic received information via literature regarding a (b)(6) female patient with a history of rheumatic fever, aortic and mitral stenosis.During the implant of a medtronic evolutpro+ transcatheter aortic valve, the delivery catheter system (dcs) was unable to be advanced due to severe calcification at the sino tubular junction and calcification that extended from the left coronary cusp into the left ventricular outflow tract (lvot).The system was removed from the patient.At a later date, a transcatheter aortic valve was successfully implant with the use of a snare.No lot numbers were provided.No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
