Crd_1059 - vista nova, patient site id: (b)(6) (b)(4) it was reported that on (b)(6) 2026, a 23mm navitor vision valve was chosen for implant.Pre-implant balloon valvuloplasty was performed with an 18mm non-abbott balloon.During procedure, while in the cusp overlap view (cov), the inflow edge of the constrained valve within the capsule was positioned at the base of aortic annulus while the pigtail positioned was confirmed to be at the bottom of the non-coronary cusp (ncc).It was noted there was no calcification extending beneath the aortic annular plane in the interventricular septum.The implanting physician checked for non-uniform expansion prior to deployment.The navitor valve was not resheathed during procedure before final implant depth of 3.5mm between the intraventricular end of the valve to the ncc.A post-implant balloon valvuloplasty with a 20mm non-abbott balloon was performed to reduce mild paravalvular leak to none.Post-procedure but prior to discharge on (b)(6) 2026, the patient experienced left bundle branch block (lbbb).No treatment was reported.Patient status was reported stable.

An event of paravalvular leak and heart block after implant was reported.Heart block is a well-recognized complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedures associated with known risk factors including patient conditions, such as pre-existing arrhythmia, anatomical factors, such as calcification extending beneath aortic annular plane in the interventricular septum, and the depth of implant of the device.Possible causes for paravalvular leak are sizing of the valve, implant depth, calcium distribution, deployment difficulties and inadequate radial forces.Information from the field indicated that the final implant depth at non-coronary cusp (ncc) was 3.5 mm.A returned device assessment could not be performed as the device 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 all available information, the reported pvl could be due to procedural circumstances (implant depth).A cause for the reported heart block could be cascading effect reported pvl.However, this cannot be conclusively determined.The interventions performed were result of case specific circumstances as post implant valvuloplasty was performed.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to labeling design or manufacturing of the device.
