Manufacturer Narrative
|
Upon receipt at medtronic¿s quality laboratory, a visual examination determined the valve was slightly oval shaped and the leaflets were intact and were slightly stiff but flexible except where host tissue extended on the outflow.All commissures were intact.Thrombotic tissue was attached between the lunula of the right and non-coronary cusps adjacent to the right non-coronary commissure, and on the outflow margin of attachment of the non-coronary cusp extending slightly onto the cusp on the outflow.Radiography showed no evidence of mineralization in the valve and/or host tissue.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.Based on the returned product analysis, a conclusive cause of the thrombus formation could not be determined.Thrombus related risks are known adverse events.
