Event Description

Medtronic received information that prior to the implant of this transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, during inspection of the valve load, a good load was confirmed.During implant, at 80% deployment, the valve was deployed to the native annulus, the valve frame appeared constrained.The patient became hypotensive.The valve was recaptured and pulled back from the native valve.The system was withdrawn from the patient.It was noted the patient remained hypotensive.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed.Advance cardiac life support measures initiated; however, the patient remained hypotensive.Subsequently, the surgeon initiated cardiopulmonary bypass.Stable blood pressure was noted.A pre-implant balloon aortic valvuloplasty (bav) was performed using a 20mm non-medtronic dilation balloon.Following the bav, a second valve was prepped.The valve was deployed and approximately placed over the native valve.The patient was weaned off bypass and was transferred out of the operating room with stable vitals.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Updated b5.Additional information was received that the valve did appear to be conforming to the patient's anatomy and did not appear infolded.Annular and left ventricular outflow tract (lvot) calcification was noted to have contributed to the expansion issue.Per the physician, not performing pre-dilation also likely contributed to the constrained valve.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
