    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    MEDTRONIC RECEIVED INFORMATION VIA LITERATURE REGARDING THE IMPACT OF ONGOING PRIMARY HEMOSTASIS DISORDERS ON LATE MAJOR OR LIFE-THREATENING BLEEDING COMPLICATIONS FOLLOWING TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT (TAVR). BLEEDINGS WERE ASSESSED ACCORDING TO THE DEFINITIONS PROVIDED BY THE VALVE ACADEMIC RESEARCH CONSORTIUM-2 (VARC-2) CRITERIA. ALL DATA WERE COLLECTED FROM A SINGLE CENTER BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2012 AND JUNE 2017. THE STUDY POPULATION INCLUDED 397 PATIENTS (PREDOMINANTLY FEMALE; MEAN AGE 84 YEARS), AN UNDISCLOSED NUMBER OF WHICH WERE IMPLANTED WITH EITHER A MEDTRONIC COREVALVE BIOPROSTHETIC VALVE OR A MEDTRONIC EVOLUT R BIOPROSTHETIC VALVE. NO SERIAL NUMBERS WERE PROVIDED. AMONG ALL PATIENTS, 50 DEATHS OCCURRED DURING THE STUDY PERIOD. OF THOSE, 20 WERE FROM CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. MULTIPLE MANUFACTURERS WERE NOTED IN THE LITERATURE; BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, MEDTRONIC PRODUCT DID NOT CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO THESE DEATHS. AMONG ALL PATIENTS, ADVERSE EVENTS INCLUDED: ONE CASE OF CARDIAC TAMPONADE AFTER RIGHT VENTRICULAR RUPTURE FOLLOWING PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION 2 MONTHS AFTER TAVR, 16 CASES OF ISCHEMIC STROKE, SIGNIFICANT PARAVALVULAR LEAK, 7 CASES OF LIFE-THREATENING BLEEDING AND 35 CASES OF MAJOR BLEEDING. MULTIPLE MANUFACTURERS WERE NOTED IN THE LITERATURE; BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION A DIRECT CORRELATION COULD NOT BE MADE BETWEEN MEDTRONIC PRODUCT AND THE OBSERVED ADVERSE EVENTS. NO ADDITIONAL ADVERSE PATIENT EFFECTS OR PRODUCT PERFORMANCE ISSUES WERE REPORTED.
