It was reported that during the implant of a transcatheter valve, the right pulmonary artery (rpa) wire position was used during deployment using a non-medtronic guidewire.The "carrot" was launched deep into the rpa sub branch.The delivery catheter system (dcs) was pulled and the valve was covered back towards the main pulmonary artery until the radiographic marker band of the dcs was noted to "flop" over from the rpa ostium to the middle of the bifurcation roof.After uncovering rows 1-2 of the valve frame, one of the crowns of the right side of the valve frame "slipped" down below the "armpit" of the rpa.Additionally, inadvertent uncovering of row 3 occurred, and the frame outflow rested in a "kinked" position.Subsequently, the valve was resheathed using a 26 french non-medtronic introducer sheath due to the low and tilted position of the patient's anatomy.A new valve and new dcs were used to successfully complete the procedure.Per the physician, the depth of implant contributed to the event.No patient complications were reported as a result of this event.

Image review: the initial harmony deployment attempt resulted in the distal end dropping below the right pulmonary artery (rpa) ostium.Although off-label, the implanters chose to bail out by retrieving the valve into the non-medtronic sheath.During the second deployment attempt, they were able to keep the valve higher against the roof of the bifurcation.A faster uncovering allowed the distal end to stay higher, in their desired position.To retrieve or reposition the harmony® tpv valve and once the struts have made contact with the anatomy during deployment it is not recommended.This is listed as a warning/precaution.Updated data: h6.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
