Medtronic received information via literature review regarding the outcome of patients after treatment of a percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) followed by the implant of a transcatheter bioprosthetic aortic valve compared with outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) with concomitant surgical bioprosthetic aortic valve implant.All data were collected from a single center.The total study population included 243 patients; 51 of whom were implanted with medtronic mosaic valve and 17 of whom were implanted with a medtronic corevalve (serial numbers not provided).Of the patients implanted with a surgical valve, the mean age was 75 ± 6 years and 80 ± 6 years for that patient¿s implanted with a transcatheter valve.Among the patients implanted with a surgical valve adverse events included: 4 incidents of bleeding that was treated with re-exploration, 6 incidents of cerebral vascular accident at 30 days, and 8 incidents of permanent pacemaker implant.Multiple manufacturers were noted in the literature; based on the available information a direct correlation could not be made between the observed adverse events and medtronic product.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
