FDA's MAUDE database holds 3,668 reports that name the brand "Evolut Pro Transcatheter Aortic Valve" (aortic valve prosthesis percutaneously deliv), received between April 2017 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Medtronic Heart Valves Division. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.
422 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, close to the 389 of the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are injury (81.5%), death (11%) and malfunction (7.6%); across all aortic valve, prosthesis, percutaneously delivered reports (product code NPT) death is recorded in 10.1% and malfunction in 15.2%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are insufficient device problem information (19.2%), device dislodged or dislocated (15.7%) and perivalvular leak (15.2%). The patient problems coded most often are non specific ekg/ECG changes, complete heart block and valvular insufficiency/ regurgitation. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
