Medtronic received information via literature review regarding redo surgery rates of patients with mosaic and perimount valves.All data were collected from a single center between 2000 and 2008.The study population included 1018 patients, 216 of which were implanted with a mosaic valve.Serial numbers were not provided.The mosaic study population was predominantly male; mean age 75 years.Among all patients adverse events included: aortic regurgitation, stenosis, endocarditis, structural (calcification, leaflet tear or stent creep) and non structural valve deterioration (stenosis or regurgitation or haemolysis, e.G.Pannus, patient prosthesis mismatch and paraprosthetic leak) treated with redo surgery.Based on the available information, these events may have been attributed to a medtronic product.However as multiple manufacturers were noted in the literature, a direct correlation could not be made between the observed adverse events and the medtronic product.No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
