Event Description
|
Medtronic received information that an unknown duration post implant of this aortic bioprosthetic valve, the valve was explanted and replaced with a non-medtronic bioprosthetic valve.The reason for replacement was reported as insufficiency resulting from a hole in a leaflet.No additional adverse patient effects were reported. .

Product analysis: upon receipt at medtronic's quality laboratory, the valve was distorted (oval shaped).The valve exhibited stent cloth damage that was consistent with damage that likely occurred during explant.All leaflets were in the closed position with the leaflets¿ free margins and lunula deteriorated due to calcification.All leaflets were slightly stiff but flexible except where the calcification extended on the inflow and outflow.The right cusp (rc) exhibited tissue deterioration from the lunula to the free margin.Missing tissue was observed on the belly of the rc.Extrinsic calcification was observed on the belly extending towards the lunula and free margin (inflow and outflow).There was thinning tissue noted on the left cusp (lc) adjacent to the margin of attachment (inflow view).The cusp was torn from the lunula to the margin of attachment.Tissue deterioration, possibly derived from the non-coronary right commissure, was observed on the non-coronary cusp (nc) through the free margin to the lunula.The observations on the rc, lc and nc were likely associated with calcification.Tissue deterioration due to calcification was observed on the non-coronary right and left right commissures.Extrinsic calcification nodules were observed on those commissures.Calcification nodules were observed on the superior coaptive area of the non-coronary left commissure.From the inflow aspect, thin layers of remnant pannus were observed along the sewing ring.Remnants of pannus were observed on the sewing right adjacent to the non-coronary cusp and non-coronary left stent post.Overall, an unknown amount of pannus appeared to have been removed during the explant procedure.Radiologic examination revealed calcification along the right cusp (rc), the left right commissure as well as on the non-coronary right commissure.Minimal calcification was revealed on the left cusp (lc) lunula and non-coronary left commissure.Conclusion: reduced performance of the valve is attributed to host tissue overgrowth (pannus) and calcification.These findings are generally considered patient-related conditions.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
