Manufacturer Narrative

Medtronic received additional information that changed the event description and device relatedness of this previously reported event.Additional information was received that this mitral annuloplasty band was implanted originally due to mitral regurgitation from endocarditis.Then approximately 1 year and 4 months later, the patient presented with repeat methicillin resistant staph aureus endocarditis.This was associated with a sub-annular abscess, which resulted in a ventricular septal defect (vsd), recurrent severe mitral valve regurgitation and a pseudoaneurysm in the septal wall.During re-operation, it was noted that the posterior annulus of the annuloplasty band was dehisced.The patient¿s annulus was repaired, mitral valve replaced, and vsd was closed.The surgeon reported that there was no defect with the annuloplasty device.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.There is no evidence to suggest the device caused or contributed to a death or serious injury.Valid scientific evidence supports no valve-related cause for endocarditis where implant time exceeds two months.Ref: interventional and surgical cardiovascular pathology, isbn 0-7216-2457-x, p.38 and p.142.Updated: a4, b3, b7 and h6 medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
