Event or Problem Description

It was reported that a 29mm navitor valve was chosen for implant using an abbott delivery system.The patient was noted to have a normal sinus rhythm prior to the procedure.A 12-lead ekg was performed pre-case to evaluate the patient¿s baseline conduction system.The valve was implanted at a depth of 5mm below the annulus on the non-coronary cusp side using a cusp overlap view.A similar depth of 5mm was achieved on the left coronary cusp in the left anterior oblique (lao) view, with parallax removed from the valve.The rationale for choosing a 5mm implant depth on both cusp sides was based on the physician¿s comfort with valve positioning in this patient, and it was noted that the valve would not sit well any higher on the annulus.No challenges or deviations were noted during valve positioning or deployment.Approximately four hours after the implant procedure a wide qrs complex was observed.No other conduction abnormalities were noted immediately post-implantation.Based on the timeline of ekg changes, the physician decided to implant a permanent pacemaker later that evening.The valve was reported to be functioning as intended post-implantation, with no paravalvular leak and good hemodynamics.No procedural complications or device-related concerns were noted during or after the procedure.The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure, and no clinically significant delays were reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
An event of heart block 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 available information, the exact cause of the reported heart block could not be conclusively determined.The reported hospitalization and surgical intervention were results of case-specific circumstances as a permanent pacemaker was implanted.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.Codes removed: health effect-clinical code: 4582;.

It was reported that a 29mm navitor valve was chosen for implant using an abbott delivery system.The patient was noted to have a normal sinus rhythm prior to the procedure.A 12-lead ekg was performed pre-case to evaluate the patient¿s baseline conduction system.The valve was implanted at a depth of 5mm below the annulus on the non-coronary cusp side using a cusp overlap view.While in the cusp overlap view (cov), the inflow edge of the constrained valve within the capsule was positioned at the base of the aortic annulus, and the pigtail position was confirmed to be at the bottom of the non-coronary cusp (ncc).A similar depth of 5mm was achieved on the left coronary cusp in the left anterior oblique (lao) view, with parallax removed from the valve.The rationale for choosing a 5mm implant depth on both cusp sides was based on the physician¿s comfort with valve positioning in this patient, and it was noted that the valve would not sit well any higher on the annulus.No challenges or deviations were noted during valve positioning or deployment.Approximately four hours after the implant procedure a wide qrs complex was observed.The arrhythmia type associated with this finding was reported as heart block, which required a permanent pacemaker implant later that evening.No other conduction abnormalities were noted immediately post-implantation.Based on the timeline of ekg changes, the physician decided to implant a permanent pacemaker later that evening.The valve was reported to be functioning as intended post-implantation, with no paravalvular leak and good hemodynamics.No procedural complications or device-related concerns were noted during or after the procedure.The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure, and no clinically significant delays were reported.
