Event Description
|
Medtronic received information via literature regarding a comparison of outcomes of mitral valve repair for degenerative disease with posterior, anterior, and bileaflet prolapse.All data were collected from a single center between july 1981 and june 2001.The study population included 701 patients (predominantly male, overall mean age 56.7 years), 166 of whom were implanted with medtronic duran ring (no serial numbers provided) for mitral valve surgical repair.Among all patients there were 5 operative and 98 late deaths (18 valve-related, 32 cardiac, and 48 non-cardiac deaths).The authors discussed predictors of these deaths, but no further details were provided regarding the causes of death.Based on the available in formation medtronic product may have been associated with the death(s).Among all patients, adverse events included: stroke, transient ischemic attack (tia), major hemorrhage during anticoagulation therapy, infective endocarditis, severe mitral regurgitation (mr), and atrial fibrillation.Additionally the following adverse events required reoperation: severe mr, hemolysis caused by residual mr, mitral stenosis caused by pannus, infective endocarditis, and left ventricular-coronary sinus fistula.Based on the available information medtronic product may have been associated with the adverse event(s).No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
