Important safety information Mitral/tricuspid valve repair

CG Future™ annuloplasty system

The CG Future™ ring or band is used to repair your heart’s natural mitral valve when it has become diseased or weakened by age.

The CG Future™ ring or band should not be used in patients with heavily calcified valves, valvular retraction with severely reduced mobility, and active bacterial endocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart caused by bacteria).

Mitral valve repair procedures may include, but are not limited to the following risks:

  • Blood clot formation on or around the valve. These blood clots may break loose and travel in the bloodstream (thromboembolism/thrombosis)
  • Damage to red blood cells (hemolysis)
  • Any problem with the band or ring that causes narrowing of the valve opening (stenosis)
  • Small amounts of blood leaking through the valve opening even after it closes (regurgitation)
  • Abnormal heart beat (dysrhythmia)
  • Inflammation of the lining of the heart (endocarditis)
  • Anticoagulant-related bleeding or hemorrhage

This list is not inclusive of all risks. Talk to your physician regarding more information about valve repair surgery.

Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
