Medtronic received information that during the implant of a transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, as the 23 mm z-med balloon was deflating, the balloon was pulled in the aortic direction and caught on the edge of the valve resulting in the valve dislodging into the sinus of vaisaiva (sov).Subsequently, the valve was snared into the ascending aorta and a second transcatheter bioprosthetic valve was implanted.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).
