Medtronic received information via literature regarding an evaluation of the long-term outcomes in patients with severe chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation who underwent mitral valve annuloplasty (mva) or subvalvular sparing mitral valve replacement (mvr).All data were retrospectively collected from a single center between january 2003 and december 2014.The study population included 392 patients (predominantly male; mean age 61 years), an unspecified number of which were implanted with medtronic duran ancore annuloplasty rings, medtronic mosaic bioprosthetic valves, medtronic hancock ii bioprosthetic valves, or medtronic open pivot mechanical valves.No serial numbers were provided.Among all patients, 62 deaths occurred during follow-up (median follow-up of 53 months).Of those, 53 were due to cardiac causes.No other details were reported.Multiple manufacturers were noted in the literature; based on the available information, medtronic product was not directly associated with the deaths.Among all patients, adverse events included: reoperation for bleeding, post-operative intra-aortic balloon pump support, moderate mitral regurgitation (mva and mvr patients), severe mitral regurgitation (mva patients), periprosthetic leak (mvr patients), and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction.It was also noted that 82 mva patients and 14 mvr patients experienced macce (major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event) during long-term follow-up.Macce included: repeat revascularization and myocardial infarction, stroke, subsequent mitral valve surgery, or hospitalization for heart failure.Based on the available information, medtronic product may have been associated with the adverse events.No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
