Description

CryoValve Heart-valve, allograft

Reason

The recipient of one of the kidneys from the donor has developed renal cell carcinoma.

Action

Implanting physicians were notified by letter on 3/19/2003. Since CryoLife has been notified that the allografts have been implanted, the notification is intended to provide the physician with a basis to determine if any additional patient surveillance or intervention is necessary. They were advised to complete an enclosed, stamped, self-addressed postcard to affirm receipt of the notification.

Distribution

Allografts were distributed to 2 physicians in NY and MS. Allografts were implanted.

Quantity

There are two individual heart valve allografts.
