Medtronic received information that 1 year and 8 months post implant of this pulmonary valved conduit in a pediatric patient, the branches of the conduit were found to be "flow-limiting".At this time, angioplasty was performed on two collateral vessels due to proximal stenosis.1 year and 9 months post implant, stable, severe, dilatation of the hood of the conduit was identified.No interventions were performed on the conduit.Ultimately, 2 years and 9 months post implant, the 12mm conduit was explanted and replaced with a 16mm conduit of the same model.The explanted conduit had an internal diameter of 9mm.No additional adverse patient effects were reported. .
