Event Description

Medtronic received information that following a successful valve-in-valve procedure performed with placing a transcatheter bioprosthetic valve (corevalve) into a previously implanted (11+ years) stenotic bioprosthetic valve, there was occlusion of the right common and superficial femoral arteries, resolved with surgical repair of both arteries.A thrombectomy was also performed on the right superficial femoral artery.

Product analysis: no product was returned, therefore no product analysis can be performed.Conclusion: the device history record was reviewed and showed that this product met all manufacturing specifications for product released for distribution.No issues were identified that would have impacted this event.It is unknown whether the reported occlusion was related to patient condition and/or closure technique as no deficiencies were alleged against the device.The issue was resolved with surgical repair of the artery.As a thrombectomy was performed on the same vessel, it is likely that thrombus caused or significantly contributed to the occlusion.No other adverse effects were reported.(b)(4).
