Event Description

It was reported that on (b)(6) 2023, a 21mm sjm regent heart valve with flex cuff was selected for an implant procedure in a patient with prior aortic stenosis and respiratory distress.It was noted during procedure that the valve had been oversized and would not enter the annulus fully, but the valve had already been sutured.It was noted that the event resulted in exacerbation of the patient's aortic stenosis and respiratory distress.The decision was made to remove and replace the 21mm sjm regent heart valve with flex cuff, with a 21mm epic supra valve to complete the procedure.There was no other treatment performed due to the patient's exacerbated aortic stenosis and respiratory distress.The patient was not taken off bypass due to this event.The patient was reported as stable at the time of report.
