It was reported that the distal filter was pulled out of position in an open state and a transient ischemic attack (tia) occurred.A sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) was selected for use during a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (tavi) procedure.The proximal filter and distal filters of the sentinel cps were successfully deployed.During the tavi procedure, the articulating sheath of the sentinel cps became caught on the non-bsc valve delivery system, and the distal filter of the sentinel cps was pulled out of position in an open state.The distal filter was successfully recaptured.The physician elected to proceed with only the proximal filter of the sentinel cps deployed.The tavi procedure was completed.A few hours post procedure, the patient had confusion, and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) scan revealed new brain lesions.The patient experienced a tia with residual short term memory problems.The patient was discharged home after most symptoms resolved and was expected to fully recover.
