Event Description
|
Medtronic received information through a literature case report regarding a (b)(6)-year-old female patient who presented with therapy refractory cardiac decompensation and underwent implantation of a non-medtronic left ventricular assist device (lvad) and tricuspid valve repair with a 32 mm medtronic contour 3d annuloplasty ring (serial number not provided) as a bridge to heart transplantation.On post-operative day 43, the patient was discharged for rehabilitation in good clinical condition with no signs of right heart failure.On post-operative day 53, the patient was readmitted for lvad low flow and a retrosternal hematoma compressing the right ventricle and reduced right ventricular function with severe tricuspid regurgitation were noted.On post-operative day 64, a surgical revision was performed to remove the hematoma.Right ventricular function did not improve, and inotropic therapy was initiated.Transesophageal echocardiography revealed severe central tricuspid regurgitation with poor right ventricular function.A three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography assessment showed that the contour 3d ring appeared partially detached from the annulus with no para-annular regurgitation.Subsequently, transcatheter edge-to-edge repair was performed with two non-medtronic clip devices.Following the transcatheter repair, an echocardiogram observed a gradient through the tricuspid valve of 3 mm hg.However, right ventricular function did not recover, and the patient was kept on the waiting list for heart transplantation.The patient underwent heart transplantation thirty-one days after the transcatheter repair.Forty days later, the patient was completely asymptomatic and discharged home.No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
