(b)(6) study.It was reported that the distal filter was dislodged in an open state.Procedure summary: prior to the index procedure, heparin or another anticoagulant was given.The subject was on a prior regimen of aspirin at the time of index procedure.The subject did not receive a loading dose of aspirin.After heparin has been given and prior to sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) insertion, the activated clotting time (act) was 446 sec.An unknown manufacturer's introducer sheath was placed into the right radial artery and a sentinel cps was inserted with the proximal filter into the brachiocephalic artery and distal filter into the left common carotid artery.A 26 mm non-boston scientific (bsc) valve and delivery system were advanced to the native aortic annulus.At that point of time, the subject moved their arm and neck as the non-bsc valve advanced to aortic arch, and the distal filter of the sentinel cps pulled down from carotid artery to the aorta while in an open state.The distal filter of the sentinel cps became hooked around the non-bsc valve delivery system and when an attempt was made to redeploy the distal filter of the sentinel cps , the distal filter was unable to be redeployed in the carotid without pulling out the non-bsc valve delivery sheath.The procedure was completed with only the proximal filter of the sentinel cps deployed.Post dilatation was performed.Both the distal filter and proximal filter of the sentinel cps were fully resheathed prior to removal without any complications.One day post index procedure, the subject was discharged on aspirin and clopidogrel.
