Medtronic received information via literature regarding outcomes of bioprosthetic valve fractures in patients undergoing a valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve (tav) implantation.The study population included 81 patients (predominantly female, mean age 76 years), 22 of whom had a previously implanted medtronic mosaic bioprosthetic surgical valve and 57 of whom were implanted with medtronic evolutr or evolutpro tav.No serial numbers were reported.Among all patients, one intra-operative death due to an iliac artery perforation occurred.The death was not attributed to a medtronic device.Among all patients with a previously implanted bioprosthetic surgical valve, adverse events included: stenosis, mild to severe regurgitation, patient-prosthesis mismatch (ppm), and increased gradient measurements.Based on the available information a medtronic product may have been associated with the adverse events.Among all patients implanted with a valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve, adverse events included: permanent pacemaker implant, increased gradient measurements, ventricular septal perforation, severe aortic regurgitation.Based on the available information a medtronic product may have been associated with the adverse events.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
