It was reported that a 25mm navitor transcatheter aortic valve was selected for implant on (b)(6) 2025.The patient's native valve was measured under the following: 22.7mm diameter, 71.4mm perimeter, and an area of 402.7mm^2.The patient had severe calcification on all three cusps.A non-abbott guidewire was positioned in the left ventricle (lv).A pre-dilation was performed with an 18mm non-abbott balloon.After pre-dilation and prior to the delivery system entering the patient, the patient presented with pulseless electrical activity (pea).Advanced cardiac life support (acls) was initiated.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed as part of acls.The valve was positioned at 80% and left in situ.A transthoracic echocardiogram (tte) was performed and showed a pericardial effusion close to the left ventricle.A pericardial drainage was placed with partial reduction of a cardiac tamponade, however the patient remained in pea.The valve was released from the delivery cable.The final implant depth was 3-4mm from the non-coronary cusp (ncc).Extracorporeal circulation (ec) was started and a lv apical lesion was surgically treated.After the surgical repair, a return of spontaneous circulation (rosc) was achieved and maintained.After rosc ec was stopped and removed.A transesophageal echocardiogram (tee) showed the valve was in a stable position with a trivial perivalvular leak.Per the physician, the pericardial effusion was due to the non-abbott guidewire in the lv.The patient was hospitalization in the intensive care unit (icu).On (b)(6) 2025 the patient passed away.The cause of death was the pea.Per the physician, the pea and subsequent death were related to the procedure and patient's comorbidities.
