It was reported that on (b)(6) 2026, a 35mm navitor vision valve was chosen for implant using a large flexnav delivery system.The patient had a history of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, a small pericardial effusion and bilateral pleural effusion was noted pre-procedure.The physician decided to perform a post-bav with a 26mm true balloon.However, the balloon was unable to be withdrawn into the 14fr sheath after multiple attempts.While preparing to remove the balloon and sheath through the arteriotomy, there was a decrease in blood pressure noted.Anesthesia administered medication to raise the blood pressure, however, the patient's blood pressure remained unstable.An aortogram was performed and it was noted that the patient had wide open aortic insufficiency.Cardiac tamponade was not observed.The patient was then intubated and cpr was required for stabilization and to circulate medication.The navitor was deployed to 80%, but hemodynamic instability persisted.Cpr was reinitiated and medication continued to be administered.The valve was deployed and an impella was placed to help suppose the patient hemodynamically.Assessment of the positioning and depth of the valve were unable to be obtained due to hemodynamic instability.The patient was transferred to the icu and subsequently passed away on the same day.
