Medtronic received information via literature regarding treatment of bioprosthetic tricuspid structural valve deterioration (svd).All data were prospectively collected from a single center between february 2014 and june 2018.The study population included twelve patients who were predominantly male with a mean age of 65 years.Multiple manufacturer¿s devices were implanted in the study population; four patients were previously implanted with a medtronic hancock ii tricuspid bioprosthesis.No unique device identifier numbers were provided.All patients required transcatheter valve-in-valve (viv) implantation of a balloon-expandable bioprosthetic valve as treatment for svd.Among all patients, four deaths occurred over a four-year follow-up period, due to malignancy, infections,and unknown causes.There was no statement of causal or contributory relationship between medtronic product and the deaths.Among all medtronic hancock ii patients, adverse events included: structural valve deterioration (svd) resulting in mixed severe tricuspid stenosis/regurgitation.The patients required surgical valve interventions and transcatheter valve-in-valve (viv) implantation of a balloon-expandable bioprosthetic valve.Based on the available information medtronic product was associated with the adverse events.No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
