Event Description

Medtronic received information that during the implant of this transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, via right femoral artery access, multiple dilation techniques were performed prior to introducing the inline sheath of the delivery catheter system (dcs).During the first attempt to place the inline sheath, resistance was noted.Dilation was performed using a larger 14fr dilator.During the second attempt to place the inline sheath, resistance was noted.When the dcs was withdrawn, the patient¿s blood pressure dropped.A 14fr non-medtronic sheath was inserted into the right common femoral artery (cfa).Subsequently, angiography of the right leg was performed using a pigtail catheter in the left cfa.Dissection in the right cfa was observed.A vascular surgeon was required to perform a cut down due to the location of the dissection.A cut down procedure was performed via the left cfa successfully.A new valve and dcs were successfully implanted.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
