Event Description

During a mitral valve replacement procedure, a 27 mm masters series mitral valve was attempted to be rotated with the sjm holder and one leaflet dislodged from the butterfly hinge and got stuck within the housing of the valve.The valve was explanted and replaced with a smaller 25 mm masters series mitral valve.Cpb time was extended for 30 minutes due to this event; however, the patient is reported to be stable.

Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event of a dislodged leaflet was confirmed.One leaflet was dislodged intact from the orifice.The sewing cuff contained a small tear, roughly where the retention suture would have secured the valve to the holder.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed.The cause of the leaflet dislodgment remains unknown; however, information from the field indicated that a smaller, 25mm, valve was subsequently implanted.Please note, per the instructions for use artmt100122073 rev.A, "if the native annulus measurement falls between two sjm¿ masters series mechanical heart valve sizes, use the smaller size sjm¿ masters series mechanical heart valve." "the two retention sutures on the valve holder/rotator must be cut and removed before the sjm¿ masters series mechanical heart valve can be rotated." "the valve should rotate freely.If resistance is noted, the valve holder/rotator may not be properly seated in the valve, the valve may not be in the fully closed position, or the valve may be oversized.If the valve does not rotate freely, do not force valve rotation.".
