Medtronic received information that during the procedure to implant this prosthetic mitral valve annuloplasty ring, it was determined the ring was too small for the patient and there was an unacceptable amount of regurgitation due to the diseased native leaflet.The physician removed the product and a 31mm porcine bioprosthetic mitral valve was successfully implanted.The physician reported the decision to remove the ring was based on the patient anatomy and there was no allegation against the annuloplasty ring or its performance.No adverse patient effects were reported.
