Medtronic received information from a literature article regarding the clinical outcomes of younger females who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement and an assessment of the incremental risk of patient-prosthesis mismatch.All data were retrospectively collected from a single center between january 2002 and june 2015.The study population included 451 female patients with a mean age of 55 years.Of those, 4 patients were implanted with medtronic mosaic surgical aortic valves.No serial numbers were provided.Among all patients, 61 deaths occurred during the observation period of approximately 14 years.Multiple manufacturers valves were implanted in the study population.None of the deaths were directly associated with medtronic product.Among all patients, adverse events included: intra-operative intra-aortic balloon pump support, patient-prosthesis mismatch, required post-operative ventilation for more than 24 hours, need for red blood cell transfusion (mean units of blood: 2), need for reoperation, permanent stroke, and unspecified need for hospital readmission within 30 days after valve implant.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.
