Event Description
|
Medtronic received information that this transcatheter bioprosthetic valve was attempted to be implanted in a previously implanted transcatheter bioprosthetic valve, that dislodged towards the coronary sinuses and resulted in severe paravalvular leak (pvl).The valve was loaded without issue and a good load was confirmed via fluoroscopy.During advancement of the delivery catheter system (dcs) with the second valve, the first valve dislodged toward the annulus.At this point it was decided to not implant the second valve.The physician suspected that implanting the second valve would likely result in coronary occlusion due to the proximity to the left main coronary artery.The first valve was attempted to be snared, but that was unsuccessful as the valve would not move.It was decided to deploy the second valve with support of a ventricular assist device or conversion to surgery, however the second valve was unable to be deployed due to dislodgement during deployment attempts with controlled pacing.Subsequently, the valve was recaptured and removed, and surgical intervention was performed.Four days after implant, the patient expired due to complications of mesenteric ischemia.Per the physician, the mesenteric ischemia was a result of open abdomen exposure during surgery.The reason for open abdominal surgery was a perforation of the right common iliac artery.It was unknown if the perforation was caused by the dcs.
