Medtronic received information that following the implant of this transcatheter bioprosthetic valve the patient became drowsy.Global confusion presented as assessed by the stroke team.As reported, the physician and the stroke team assessment indicated there was no focal neurology and that a stroke did not occur.Rather, contrast-induced encephalopathy was diagnosed.A computed tomography (ct) of the brain with contrast angiogram of intracranial vessels was normal.However, a brain magnetic resonance imaging (mri) was performed two days following the valve implant.The mri indicated multiple bilateral areas of restricted diffusion in keeping with multiple acute and subacute infarcts.The diagnosis was changed from contrast encephalopathy to stroke.All symptoms resolved in 24 hours.No treatment reported.The event was reported as possibly related to the delivery catheter system (dcs), guidewire, valve and the procedure itself.As reported, there were no patient related factors to the stroke occurrence.This event prolonged hospitalization for further monitoring and mri scanning.The event was considered resolved two days following the valve implant.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.Medtronic has requested additional information pertaining to this event.If additional reportable information is received, a supplemental report will be submitted.
