Event Description
|
Medtronic received information that 9 years 9 months post implant of this bioprosthetic valve it was explanted due to prolonged stenosis.The valve was replaced with a non medtronic device.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

Product analysis: upon receipt at medtronic¿s quality laboratory, visual evaluation showed the valve was slightly distorted; oval shaped.The right cusp was in the closed position while the left cusp (lc) and non-coronary (nc) cusp were in an open position.All leaflets were stiff but slightly flexible.The right cusp was partially torn from the left right commissure (lr).A tear was also observed on the lunula of the right cusp.There was an abrasion of the right cusp due to pannus of the lr commissure.Minimal thrombus was observed on the base stitching of the nc cusp.A hematoma was noted on the inflow of the rc.Pannus was observed on all commissures.All leaflets were attached to commissures except the rc at the lr commissure.Pannus encapsulated the lr stent post and was present around the outflow sewing ring adjacent to the lr stent post to the rnc stent post.Pannus was observed on all outflow rails to the base stitching and was also present on the inflow sewing ring.An unknown amount of pannus appeared to have been removed during explant; which would have significantly impaired the leaflet mobility.Radiography revealed no calcification.Conclusion: reduced performance of the valve is attributed to host tissue overgrowth.This finding is generally considered a patient -related condition.The impairment of leaflet mobility may have led to the thrombus formation on the outflow of the valve.In addition, cuspal tear / abrasion was observed due to pannus overgrowth on the commissure, which may have caused the stenosis.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
