Medtronic received information that during the implant of this transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, an attempt was made to access with the delivery catheter system (dcs) via the right access site; however, it was unable to advance through the common iliac artery (cia).The inline sheath was attempted, but did not pass through, therefore an 18 fr non-medtronic sheath was inserted.The valve was successfully implanted.It was reported that the minimum access vessel diameter was 6.6 millimeter (mm) by 7.2 mm.The access route was checked, and a dissection on right cia and perforation from the external iliac artery (eia) were confirmed.Per the physician, the dcs was an unlikely cause of the dissection and perforation; however, it was a possibility as there was difficulty advancing.A 10 millimeter (mm) by 10 centimeter (cm) stent was inserted into the eia and a 10mm by 4cm stent was inserted into the cia.A final angiography confirmed the stent placements were successful and the procedure was completed.It was reported that the procedure time was extended approximately one hour due to the dissection and perforation.It was also reported that the patient had "scattered calcifications", but no severe tortuosity.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
