It was reported that the distal filter was unable to be fully resheathed a sentinel embolic protection system was positioned for use, via a radial approach, during a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) procedure.The proximal and distal filters of the sentinel embolic protection system were able to be deployed.During balloon valvuloplasty, the non-bsc balloon catheter displaced the positioning of the proximal basket of the sentinel embolic protection system.The physician attempted to recapture the distal basket prior to attempting to reposition the proximal filter.The hypotube of the distal filter slider disconnected from the handle of the sentinel embolic protection system.The distal filter was unable to be resheathed.The sentinel embolic protection system was pulled to the radial sheah where the radial sheath and sentinel embolic protection system were able to be removed from the patient as a unit.A radial band was put in place with no blood loss noted at the access site.The tavr procedure was able to be completed.No patient complications were reported.
