Medtronic received information via literature regarding the use of real-time cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate potential differences in biventricular response to exercise in patients with pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary regurgitation pre- and post- percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation.The study population included 17 patients (predominantly male; mean age 19 years; mean weight 62 kg), 2 of which were previously implanted with medtronic hancock valved conduits (no serial numbers provided).Among all patients, adverse events included: pulmonary stenosis (with high right ventricular outflow tract mean gradients) or pulmonary regurgitation requiring percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation.Based on the available information, medtronic product may have been associated with the adverse events.No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
