Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were {update/corrected} updated: g3; h2; h3; h6 procedural related complications are influenced by the type of surgery, patients pre-existing comorbidities, and perioperative management.Side effects of the administration of anesthesia are a known cause of chest pain, ekg changes, and myocardial infarction (heart attack) during the intraoperative and postoperative recovery.Elective total joint patients typically have a cardiac workup prior to surgery to assess the patient¿s physical readiness for surgery, hence reducing their risk for these cardiac related complications.Patients are at the highest risk immediately post op but continue to be at risk for several weeks after the procedure.As the reported complaint indicated, a cardiac postoperative complication developed two weeks postop, necessitating medical treatment to preclude further deterioration.The medical records also indicate that four cardiac stents were required which are placed due to narrowing of the vessels to treat atherosclerosis or plaque build up in the vessels which cause the narrowing and indicate underlying comorbidities prior to the procedure.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
