Medtronic received information via literature regarding in-hospital outcomes after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo) during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (tavi).All data were collected from a meta-analysis review of 14 peer-reviewed publications, representing an overall study population of 102 patients (predominantly female, mean age 79 years) whom underwent tavi with ecmo.Multiple manufacturer¿s devices were implanted in the study population; an unspecified number of medtronic core valve (no serial numbers provided) were implanted.Among all patients, 28 deaths occurred.Multiple manufacturer's devices were implanted in the study population.None of the deaths were directly associated with medtronic product.Among all patients adverse events included: ecmo, left ventricle free wall rupture, aortic anulus rupture, hemodynamic instability, ventricular arrhythmias, coronary obstruction, low left ventricular output (ejection fraction <(><<)>35%), major bleeding, severe aortic regurgitation, prosthesis embolization, aortic dissection, respiratory failure, ¿prolonged pacing¿, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr), tamponade, and conversion to open procedure for surgical aortic valve implant.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.
