Event Description
|
Medtronic received information via literature review that a (b)(6) male patient underwent successful implant of a medtronic mitral bioprosthetic valve (model/serial not reported).Approximately 27 years postimplant, the patient presented with exertional dyspnea.Transthoracic echocardiography (tte) revealed moderate mitral stenosis and regurgitation.Transesophageal echocardiography (tee) showed moderate calcification on the leaflets, three mitral regurgitation jets, and a perforation with additional paravalvular defect.In a reoperation the mitral valve was explanted and successfully replaced with a medtronic ats mechanical prosthesis.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.Macroscopic examination of the explanted mitral prosthesis revealed a leaflet perforation.The article concluded highlighting the long-term durability of this valve in the mitral position.
