It was reported that on (b)(6) 2022, a 29mm portico valve was selected for an implant.The implant depth was 5mm, and there was a lot of calcium in the left coronary leaflet and presence of calcium in the valve annulus.(1536mm3 by 3mensio).The patient did not have a horizontal aorta.During deployment the device was released too quickly after the final release latch button was pressed.There was also a little more tension on the delivery system than necessary, pushing the device further into the ventricular position.The physician did not snare the device into to position.A new 29mm portico valve was selected and successfully implanted for a valve in valve procedure.Post implant, there was a small leak, noted between the two valves, and mild mitral regurgitation due to poor anterior leaflet mobility, without mitral stenosis on electrocardiogram.The mean gradient 3mmhg and peak gradient 7mmhg.No treatment was provided for the leak and no adverse patient effects.The patient remain hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure.

An event of a small leak between the prothesis was reported.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed and the product met all specifications.The implant of the valve inside another portico valve could have contributed to the reported event.There is no indication of a product quality issue with regards to manufacture, design, or labeling.Please note, per the instructions for use 'the portico¿ valve, is designed to be implanted in the native aortic heart valve without open heart surgery and without concomitant surgical removal of the failed native valve.".
