Medtronic received information from a literature article regarding the change in the mitral-septal angle after surgery for atrial functional mitral regurgitation and its effect on mid-term patient outcomes.All data was prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed from a single center between january 2011 and december 2018.Of the 40 patients included in the study population (predominantly male, mean age 69 years), 3 patients underwent mitral valve annuloplasty with a medtronic cg future band (1) or profile 3d ring (2).No unique device identifier numbers were provided.Among all patients, a total of 7 deaths occurred during follow-up.The causes of death included: congestive heart failure (4) and pneumonia (3).No correlation was made between medtronic product and the deaths.Among all patients, post-operative adverse events included: recurrent moderate or severe mitral regurgitation due toprosthetic ring detachment or posterior mitral leaflet tethering; stroke caused by endocarditis that resulted in heart failure; systemic embolism; permanent pacemaker implantation for sick sinus syndrome; and hospital re-admission for worsening heart failure.Medtronic product may have been associated with the adverse events.No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
