Event or Problem Description
|
|
Medtronic received information that this 20mm aortic mechanical valve was implanted and explanted during the same procedure and was replaced with an 18mm mechanical valve of the same model.Post implant of the 20mm valve showed very small left ventricular outflowtract (lvot) and half of the valve orifice appeared to be obstructed by the reconstructed aortomitral curtain.The physician then decided to further augment the annulus by performing a root replacement.The valve was removed by cutting the sutures and the orifices of the proximal sites of the grafts were trimmed.The 20mm valve was once again implanted and sutured into place.Valve inspection then noted that one of the leaflets had become immobile due to bulging of the lvot tissue.The valve was removed and an 18mm valve was implanted.No additional adverse patient effects were reported. .
