Event Description
|
Medtronic received information that during the implant of this 28 mm annuloplasty ring in the mitral position, this ring was implanted, then explanted and replaced during the same procedure by a 29 mm bioprosthetic mitral valve due to moderate regurgitation and anterior and posterior leaflet retraction.No adverse patient effects were reported due to the device's function or due to the replacement procedure.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
Product analysis: the product specimen was not returned for evaluation.Conclusion: this investigation revealed no intrinsic evidence to suggest a root cause related to manufacturing.Re-operations are primarily the result of a progression of disease or technical failures and are not related to product malfunctions.Unlike bioprosthetic heart valves, annuloplasty rings are an adjunct to the valve repair.In this case, the ring was explanted due to the patient¿s native valve continued regurgitation.
