Event Description
|
Medtronic received information that 4 years 9 months this 29 mm aortic bioprosthetic valve was explanted due to severe aortic regurgitation and paravalvular leak (pvl).The valve was successfully replaced with a non medtronic device.No additional adverse patient effects were reported. .

Manufacturer Narrative

Product analysis: upon receipt at medtronic¿s quality laboratory, visual examination revealed that the stent posts were slightly deflected and oval shaped.All leaflets were in the closed position, and slightly stiff but flexible.Cuspal damage was noted on the lunula of the left cusp, related to abrasion on the cusp against the bias cloth of the stent posts.Abrasion damage (non-through and through hole) was observed on the non-coronary cusp which was related to abrasion against the outflow rail.A small tear was noted on the right cusp adjacent to the non-coronary right commissures.The tear was associated with pannus overgrowth.All commissures were intact.There was no commissure dehiscence observed.There was no visible pannus observed on the inflow of the valve.Pannus was observed on all superior coaptive areas of all commissures extending to the aortic wall.The non-coronary right stent post was encapsulated with pannus extending to the outflow rail of the right cusp.The pannus extended to the non-coronary right commissures where a small tear was noted on the right cusp.The tear is likely associated with pannus overgrowth.An unknown amount of pannus appeared to have been removed during explant.Radiography showed no evidence of calcification in the valve.The device was placed on a coaptation test er.The leaflets remained in closed position however, gaps at the point of coaptation and pin hole gapping between the left cusp and right cusp coaptive ridges were observed.Due to the gaps, the pressure would not stay above 15 inches of water.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Product analysis additional information: the valve was placed and tested on a coaptation tester, where is showed that the leaflets remained in a closed position with no gaps and pin holes.The pressure held at 20 inches of water.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed for this valve.This device was manufactured per approved and released manufacturing processes and met all applicable manufacturing specifications prior to release for distribution.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
