Why it was recalled

Stop using this product now

Lotus valve became unlocked during release from the delivery system. This may lead to percutaneous insertion of another valve, resulting in a Valve in Valve (ViV) implantation. If this occurs, the first valve could embolize and it may be necessary to convert the patient to surgery.

Using this product could cause serious injury, illness or death — stop using it now.
