MEDTRONIC RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT DURING THE IMPLANT PROCEDURE OF THIS ANNULOPLASTY BAND, THE BAND WAS EXPLANTED AND REPLACED WITH A BIOPROSTHETIC VALVE. THE SURGEON REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT HAD MYXOMATOUS MITRAL VALVE DISEASE WITH FLAIL POSTERIOR LEAFLET DUE TO EROSION OF THE PRIMARY CHORDAE, SEVERE MITRAL REGURGITATION, AND PREVIOUS ALPHA STREPTOCOCCAL ENDOCARDITIS. DURING THE PROCEDURE IT WAS VERIFIED THAT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ACTIVE INFECTION, THUS THE SURGEON ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VALVE. HOWEVER, AFTER COMING OFF CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS (CPB), SEVERE REGURGITATION WAS NOTED DUE TO FAILURE OF THE ANTERIOR LEAFLET COAPTATION FROM TETHERING OF A1 AND P1 LEAFLET SEGMENTS. NO ADDITIONAL ADVERSE PATIENT EFFECTS WERE REPORTED.
