    IT WAS REPORTED, DURING PREPARATION FOR THE ATTEMPTED IMPLANT OF THIS 29MM TRANSCATHETER AORTIC BIOPROSTHETIC VALVE (TAV) (R060870), IN A PATIENT WITH A TYPE 0 BICUSPID NATIVE VALVE, AFTER THE TAV WAS LOADED INTO THE DELIVERY CATHETER SYSTEM (DCS) (0013259439) BY AN INEXPERIENCED VALVE LOADER, THE VALVE LOAD WAS REVIEWED VIA FLUOROSCOPIC INSPECTION AND A MISLOAD WAS IDENTIFIED. THE MISLOAD WAS FURTHER CHARACTERIZED AS A BENT STRUT IN THE TAV FRAME WITH NO NODE INVOLVEMENT. THE TAV AND DCS WERE NOT USED FOR THE PROCEDURE. A PRE-IMPLANT BALLOON DILATION WAS PERFORMED AND A SECOND 29MM TAV (R267636) AND DCS (0013259439) WERE LOADED WITHOUT ISSUE. THE DCS WAS INSERTED INTO THE PATIENT¿S VASCULATURE AND ADVANCED TO THE AORTIC ANNULUS. THREE DEPLOYMENT ATTEMPTS WERE MADE; HOWEVER, THE TAV WOULD DISLODGE AND COULD NOT BE IMPLANTED. THE TAV WAS RECAPTURED INTO THE DCS. A DECISION TO ATTEMPT A SMALLER TAV WAS MADE; THEREFORE, THE SYSTEM WAS WITHDRAWN FROM THE PATIENT. A THIRD, SMALLER 26MM TAV (R234758) WAS LOADED INTO A THIRD DCS (0013092710) WITHOUT ISSUE. THE DCS WAS INSERTED INTO THE PATIENT¿S VASCULATURE AND ADVANCED TO THE AORTIC ANNULUS; HOWEVER, THE TAV ALSO DISLODGED DURING THREE SEPARATE DEPLOYMENT ATTEMPTS AND OPTIMAL TAV PLACEMENT COULD NOT BE ACHIEVED. THE TAV WAS RECAPTURED INTO THE DCS AND THE SYSTEM WAS WITHDRAWN FROM THE PATIENT. SUBSEQUENTLY, A 26MM NON-MEDTRONIC (SAPIEN3 UE) TAV WAS USED TO COMPLETE THE PROCEDURE. PER THE PHYSICIAN, THE PATIENT'S BICUSPID VALVE WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE INABILITY TO PLACE THE MEDTRONIC VALVES. NO PATIENT COMPLICATIONS WERE REPORTED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVENT.
