Event Description
|
Medtronic received information that approximately six years and six months following the implant of this transcatheter pulmonary bio prosthetic valve, the valve was replaced due to valve stenosis and dysfunction complicated by distal pulmonary artery stenosis.The pulmonary arteries were ballooned and a second transcatheter valve was implanted valve-in-valve.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Conclusion: the device history record was reviewed and showed that this product met all manufacturing specifications for product released for distribution.No issues were identified that would have impacted this event.Without the return of the valve for analysis, a root cause of the stenosis cannot be determined.Immobile leaflet is one of the most common failure modes (mechanism) which could lead to stenosis.Pannus overgrowth would be the common cause for immobile leaflet.Stenosis related risks are documented in the risk management files.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
