Manufacturer Narrative

Received corrected information on the explanted valve: medtronic received information that 114 months post-implant of this bioprosthetic valve, the valve was explanted due to mild regurgitation, severe mitral stenosis, severe pulmonary hypertension, a mean gradient of 15, and an ejection fraction of 53%.Identification of the explanted valve was difficult due to heavy calcification.The valve was replaced by a medtronic bioprosthesis, resolving the reported conditions.It was reported that the explanted valve will be not be returned for analysis.
