Medtronic received additional information from this patient's physician that there was no problem with the ring, but opted to replace the ring during a repair of the native mitral valve.Conclusion: reoperations are primarily the result of a progression of disease or technical failures and are not related to product malfunctions.Unlike prosthetic heart valves, annuloplasty rings are an adjunct to the valve repair.The device history record was reviewed and showed that this product met all manufacturing specifications for product released for distribution.No issues were identified that would have impacted this event.(b)(4).
