Medtronic received information via literature regarding the potential of late positive functional remodeling after percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (ppvi) in right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction.All data were collected from a single center between may 2004 and june 2008.The study population included a total of 107 patients, however, only 65 met inclusion criteria (predominantly male; mean age 20 years), all of which were implanted with a medtronic melody transcatheter pulmonary valve.No serial numbers were provided.Among all 107 patients, one sudden death occurred.Based on the available information, medtronic product did not cause or contribute to this death.Among all 107 patients, adverse events included: valve-in-valve ppvi due to early restenosis, valve explantation due to endocarditis, rescue open-heart surgery, restenosis as defined by an increase in right ventricular outflow tract gradient - 15 mm hg, low left ventricular ejection fraction, and low right ventricular ejection fraction.Based on the available information, medtronic product may have caused or contributed to these adverse events.No additional adverse patient effects or product performance issues were reported.
