Medtronic received information that immediately post implant of this 32mm tricuspid annuloplasty ring, it was explanted and replaced with a 29mm bioprosthetic valve.There were no allegations against the ring or its function.The physician reported patient anatomy issues and determined replacing the valve would be better for the patient.No additional adverse patient were reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Product analysis: upon receipt at medtronic's quality laboratory, visual examination revealed two sutures that appeared to have been cut on the outflow.Radiography showed no evidence of fractures on the ring.Conclusions: surgeons often attempt to repair valves in lieu of replacing them in an effort to preserve the native 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.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
