Medtronic received information via literature review that a case study was performed after non-medtronic transcatheter valves were implanted, valve-in-valve, into a medtronic surgical aortic bioprosthetic valve (25mm, serial numbers not provided) and a medtronic surgical bioprosthetic mitral valve (27-mm, serial numbers not provided).The patient was a (b)(6) year old female with a past medical history of chronic atrial fibrillation, moderate left ventricular dysfunction and type two diabetes.The bioprosthetic valves had been implanted for four years, and both demonstrated structural deterioration.The aortic valve was reported to have moderate aortic insufficiency.The mitral valve was reported to be stenotic with increased mitral gradients.The reason for the early deterioration was not clear to the author.The non-medtronic transcatheter valves were successfully implanted.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
