Medtronic received information that during the implant of this 32mm tricuspid annuloplasty ring, it was explanted and replaced with an unknown product.Prior to the initial implant the patient's native tricuspid valve was in a state of severe regurgitation.After the implantation of the 32mm ring, moderate regurgitation remained.Therefore, the ring was replaced with a smaller size ring of the same model in order to achieve a state of no regurgitation.No additional adverse patient effects were reported. .
