    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT PRIOR TO A TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION (TAVI) PROCEDURE, PRE-CLOSE PLACEMENT OF THE SUTURES WAS ATTEMPTED IN A MODERATELY CALCIFIED COMMON FEMORAL ARTERY USING PERCLOSE PROGLIDE DEVICES. REPORTEDLY, THE DEVICES WERE INSERTED INTO THE VESSEL THROUGH A 6-FRENCH SIZED ACCESS SITE. DURING ATTEMPTS TO DEPLOY THE SUTURES OF THE FIRST TWO PROGLIDES DEVICES, NEEDLE-TO-CUFF MISSES OCCURRED. WHEN THE NEEDLE PLUNGER WAS REMOVED, NO SUTURE WAS PRESENT ON THE NEEDLES. TWO ADDITIONAL PROGLIDE DEVICES WERE SEQUENTIALLY DEPLOYED 60-DEGREES OPPOSITE IN ORIENTATION AND SET TO THE SIDE. THE ACCESS SITE WAS DILATED TO 18-FRENCH TO MATCH THE OUTER DIAMETER OF THE DELIVERY CATHETER. AFTER CONCLUSION OF THE TAVI PROCEDURE, THE KNOTS FROM THE TWO PROGLIDE DEVICES WERE SEQUENTIALLY ADVANCED AND TIGHTENED TO ACHIEVE HEMOSTASIS. THERE WERE NO REPORTED ADVERSE PATIENT SEQUELAE AND NO REPORTED SIGNIFICANT CLINICAL DELAY IN THE PROCEDURE. THE PHYSICIAN WAS REPORTED TO BE TRAINED IN THE USE OF THE PERCLOSE PROGLIDE DEVICE. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED.
