The Medtronic Cardiac Surgery PMCF Registry is a study to keep track of patients who have had heart surgery using Medtronic products. This helps doctors make sure the products are safe and work well. To be part of this study, patients need to give written permission and either have already received or plan to receive a Medtronic heart product. They must also be enrolled in the registry soon after their treatment or fit the rules for joining later. Patients cannot join if they are hard to keep in touch with, local law does not allow them, or if they are part of another study that might mix up the results.

• Study Length: The study involves ongoing monitoring after heart surgery.
• Visits Needed: Regular follow-ups are important for successful participation.
• Eligibility: Must meet specific criteria and not be in conflicting studies.

This registry is a part of post-market surveillance, meaning it checks how products do in real-world use after they are sold. Participating helps gather important information to improve heart surgery products.
