Event or Problem Description
Medtronic received information that immediately post implant of this 28mm tricuspid annuloplasty ring, it was removed and replaced with a non-medtronic device.The physician reporter he could not get the valve to be competent using his typical suturing technique with the 28mm ring.An alternative suturing technique was used with the replacement device and the patient's valve became competent when tested.The physician reported the curvature of the 28mm ring was greater than normal.No additional adverse patient effects were reported. .
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Product analysis: upon receipt at medtronic's quality laboratory, visual examination revealed the band was discolored and stained showing evidence of blood contact.Small needle holes were observed along the ring showing placement of implantation sutures.There were no damages noted on the ring.Radiography showed no evidence of distortion or fractures on the ring.Conclusions: 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.Surgeons often attempt to repair valves in lieu of replacing them in an effort to preserve the native mitral anatomy.There are times when valve repair is attempted using a repair device and subsequent post-repair evaluation demonstrates an inadequate result.This is potentially due to, but not limited to, suboptimal anatomy, surgical technique, or inappropriate sizing, rather than a malfunction of the device.In this case, it was stated by the physician the curvature of the ring was greater than normal.Device history record review and radiography showed no issues with the device related to the reported complaint.The reported curvature issue could not be confirmed.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
