Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2025, a 27mm navitor valve was chosen for implant using a large flexnav delivery system.The patient's aortic valve angle (av angle from 3mensio) was 61°.A pre-dilation was performed with a 20mm non-abbott balloon.During procedure, the valve implantation had non uniform expansion and also at the left coronary sinus (lcs) the implant was nominal.During preparation for final deployment, the guide was slightly withdrawn to divert the cone of the nose.After several attempts by the clinical specialist and they noted the valve was in the wrong position, but the physician decided to continue the implant and the valve migrated to the ascending aorta.The cause of migration was the excessive level of calcium.A post dilatation was not performed.A new 26mm non-abbott valve was implanted.There was no delay in the procedure and the patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure.The patient was reported stable.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
An event of migration or expulsion of device (aortic direction) and valve under-expansion was reported.A returned device assessment could not be performed as the device remains implanted and was not returned for analysis.The device history record was reviewed to ensure that each manufacturing and inspection operation was performed, and the product met all specifications.Based on the information received, the cause for the reported device migration in aortic direction appears to be due to the valve under-expansion.The cause of the reported under-expansion could not be conclusively determined.The reported unexpected medical intervention and surgical intervention were result of case-specific circumstances as medication provided and another valve was implanted (valve in valve).There is no indication of a product quality issue with regards to manufacture, design, or labeling.
