Medtronic received information that immediately following the implant of a transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, a terumo guide catheter that was being used for pre-planned, simultaneous percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) became caught on the valve frame causing the valve to be inclined.A snare was used to pull the valve up and a second valve was successfully implanted valve-in-valve.The patient's native valve leaflets were reported to be heavily calcified.No adverse patient effects were reported.(b)(4).This report reflects information received by fda in the form of a notification per 803.22 (b)(2).
