Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information received from the physician indicated that this case was a complex mini-mitral valve repair procedure that the physician felt was inadequate on transesophageal echocardiogram (tee).The failure was a combination of an issue with the native tissue and the physician not being able to identify the source of the problem.The physician did not want to put the patient on a cross-clamp for the third time, so the physician decided to perform a chordal preserving replacement procedure with a bioprosthetic valve.The mini-thoracotomy was closed only once at the end of the procedure.The patient experienced some post-operative atrial fibrillation (afib) and was discharged four days later.At the one month follow-up, the physician reported that the patient is doing well.No other adverse patient effects were reported.Added patient weight.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
