Event or Problem Description
|
|
During a transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure when the valve was deployed, a premature ventricular contraction occurred.During the procedure, the temporary pacing catheter failed to capture, causing the valve to deploy approximately 2-3 mm distal to the intended site.A transthoracic echocardiogram and cineangiography were performed which revealed a perivalvular leak.It was felt that failure of the temporary pacing catheter to maintain capture led to the complication / inappropriate placement of valve.Fda ref: mw5115460.
