It was reported that an inability to resheath the distal filter prior to removal occurred.A sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) was used during a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) procedure.The sentinel cps was advanced into position and the proximal filter and distal filters were successfully deployed.Upon completion of the tavr procedure, the distal filter could not be recaptured into the catheter.During retrieval for removal of the sentinel cps the hypotube of the distal filter slider 3 became kinked and broken.The proximal filter began to reopen when pulling the sentinel cps through the sheath, and the sentinel cps then became stuck in the sheath.The sentinel cps and sheath were removed from the patient as a unit.No patient complications were reported.
