Medtronic received information that following the implant of a transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, the valve appeared to be constrained and a post-implant balloon aortic valvuloplasty (bav) (28mm bard true balloon) was performed.The bav went as planned and the valve expanded.Echocardiogram then showed moderate central regurgitation and the leaflet was found to be prolapsed.It was deduced that the bav tore a leaflet of the valve.A second transcatheter bioprosthetic valve was implanted valve-in-valve and resulted in no central aortic insufficiency or pvl.No adverse patient effects were reported.(b)(4).This report reflects information received by fda in the form of a notification per 803.22 (b)(2).
