Manufacturer Narrative

Product analysis: upon receipt at medtronic¿s quality laboratory, visual inspection noted that the stent posts were slightly deflected and oval shaped, with pannus surrounding the entire measurement area of the valve.All leaflets were stiff but flexible.The non coronary cusp (nc) was in the open position, while the left coronary cusp (lc) and the right coronary cusp (rc) were in a closed position due to the leaflet tears.There was tissue deterioration of the lc and rc at the lr commissure due to visible mineralization.Tears were observed at both the lr commissure and right cusp.There was tissue deterioration due to mineralization on the lr commissure.All other commissures were intact with no deterioration.There was tan pannus observed along the outflow rails of all three commissures as well as the observed outflow sewing cuff adjacent to the right cusp extending to the nc cusp and ending at the left cusp.Pannus was observed encapsulating the ncl and lr stent posts extending to the superior coaptive area of the commissures.The entire inflow sewing cuff was covered with pannus.An unknown amount of pannus appeared to have been removed on the inflow and outflow rails.Radiologic evaluation showed mineralization on the lr commissure and on the right cusp.Conclusion: a review of the device history record (dhr) was performed for this valve.The device was manufactured per approved and released manufacturing processes and the device met all applicable manufacturing specifications prior to release for distribution.Based on the received information and device analysis, the calcification could be the potential cause of the cuspal tear.Updated event date: if information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
