It was reported that on (b)(6) 2026, a 23 mm navitor vision valve was selected for implant using a small flexnav delivery system.The length of the membranous septum was reported to be 1.9 mm.No calcification was confirmed from the annulus to the subvalvular left ventricular outflow tract (lvot).During the procedure, complete atrioventricular block (cavb) developed following deployment of the valve.A temporary pacemaker was subsequently placed, and the patient was transferred from the procedure room with the temporary pacemaker in place.The final implant depth of the navitor valve was reported as 3 mm at the non-coronary cusp (ncc) and 5 mm at the left coronary cusp (lcc).The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout the procedure and there was no clinically significant delay.Post-operative monitoring was performed.The patient recovered from cavb the following day, however; cavb recurred and a permanent pacemaker was subsequently implanted.As the patient had a short membranous septum (ms), the implanter believed that the event was related to either wire manipulation during the procedure or the position of the valve.The patient's status at the time of reporting was stable.
