Medtronic received information from a literature article regarding a comparison of right ventricular outflow tract (rvot) reconstruction using bovine jugular vein or expanded polytetrafuoroethylene conduits.All data was retrospectively collected from a single center between january 2013 and december 2017.Of the 44 patients included in the study population, 20 patients underwent rvot reconstruction with the medtronic contegra (10 males, 10 females; mean age 2.3 years; mean weight 10.2 kg).No unique device identifier numbers were provided.The mean follow-up period was 4.9 years for the contegra group.In the contegra group, no deaths occurred during follow-up.In the contegra group, adverse events included: re-rvot reconstruction (3 cases); conduit replacement because of aneurysmal conduit dilatation associated with branch pulmonary stenosis (3 cases) or calcific conduit stenosis (1 case); stent implantation or repeat balloon angioplasty for branch pulmonary stenosis (2 cases); branch pulmonary stenosis without intervention; pulmonary regurgitation (trivial = 9 cases, mild = 8 cases, moderate = 3 cases); and bacteremia without vegetation managed with medication (1 case).No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
