It was reported that on (b)(6) 2026, a 25mm navitor valve with a small flexnav delivery system were chosen for off label transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve procedure of a previously implanted 25mm epic plus valve.During post-dilatation of the 25mm navitor valve with a 24mm non-abbott balloon, it was noted there was a complication involving fracture of the 25mm epic plus valve, and the 25mm navitor valve had migrated in the aortic direction, causing partial right and left coronary artery obstruction.The migrated valve was snared and repositioned to allow coronary access and placement of a new valve.Subsequently, a decision was made to prepare a second 25mm navitor valve with a second new small flexnav delivery system that was successfully implanted within the 25mm epic plus valve.The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure.Post-operatively, patient suffered an ischemic stroke, which worsened over time, and ultimately leading to patient death on (b)(6) 2026.
