IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AORTIC AND MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT

Avalus Bioprosthesis

Indications: The Avalus bioprosthesis is indicated for the replacement of diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic aortic valves.  

Contraindications: None known.

Warnings/Precautions/Adverse Events: Only physicians who have received proper training in valve replacement should use this device. Accelerated structural deterioration due to calcific degeneration of bioprosthesis may occur in: children, adolescents, young adults, and patients with altered calcium metabolism (e.g., chronic renal failure, or hyperparathyroidism). Adverse events can include: angina, cardiac dysrhythmias, endocarditis, heart failure, hemolysis, hemolytic anemia, hemorrhage, infection other than endocarditis, transvalvular or paravalvular leak, myocardial infarction, nonstructural valve dysfunction (leaflet entrapment/impingement, obstructive pannus ingrowth, suture dehiscence, inappropriate sizing or positioning, or other), pericardial effusion or tamponade, prosthesis regurgitation, prosthesis stenosis, prosthesis thrombosis, stroke, structural valve deterioration (calcification, leaflet tear or perforation, or other), thromboembolism, tissue dehiscence, and transient ischemic attack. These complications could lead to reoperation, explant of the bioprosthesis, permanent disability, or death. Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

MEDTRONIC OPEN PIVOT HEART VALVES

Important Labeling Information for United States

Indications: The Medtronic Open Pivot Heart Valve is indicated for the replacement of diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic aortic or mitral valves.

Contraindications: The Medtronic Open Pivot Heart Valve is contraindicated in patients unable to tolerate anticoagulation therapy.

Warning: Persons allergic to cobalt-chromium or nickel may suffer an allergic reaction specifically to the AP360 style device.

Adverse events potentially associated with the use of prosthetic heart valves include: angina, cardiac arrhythmia, endocarditis, hemolysis, hemolytic anemia, anticoagulant-related hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, leaflet entrapment (impingement), transvalvular regurgitation, structural dysfunction, pannus, perivalvular leak, transvalvular leak, thrombosis, stroke, thromboembolism. It is possible that these complications could lead to: reoperation, explantation, permanent disability, heart failure, death.

Caution: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or properly licensed practitioner.

MEDTRONIC OPEN PIVOT AORTIC VALVED GRAFT

Important Labeling Information for United States

Indications: The Medtronic Open Pivot™ Aortic Valved Graft (AVG) is indicated for the replacement of diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic aortic valves, where a replacement valve and replacement or repair of the aorta is required.

Contraindications: The AVG is contraindicated in patients unable to tolerate anticoagulation therapy. The Hemashield® Woven Double Velour Vascular Graft is not approved for use as a coronary artery replacement.

Warning: The graft should not be implanted in patients with a known sensitivity to products of bovine origin.
