Event Description

Medtronic received information that during implant of this transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, after valve implantation and a post-implant balloon aortic valvuloplasty (bav), the valve dislodged.Although the coronary artery did not occlude, the st decreased over time and coronary blood flow was believed to be partially inhibited.The valve was therefore grasped from the radial artery using a snare, and pulled up to the ascending aorta.Afterwards, a second valve was placed and surgical bail-out was performed.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

Event Description

Additional information was received that no pre-balloon aortic valvuloplasty (bav) was performed.A post bav was performed because the pressure differential was more than 15 mmhg and the valve inflow strut was suspected to not be fully expanded.The deployment started at the bottom of the pigtail catheter.Prior to dislodgement, the valve implant depth was 2 mm on the non-coronary cusp (ncc) and 3 mm on the left coronary cusp (lcc).
