Re-sheathing failure with Navitor during transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a case report
This report documents a rare complication involving the failure to recapture the Navitor valve. In cases with large calcified nodules on the leaflet, caution is essential during the re-sheathing process. We strongly recommend re-deploying the prosthesis rather than attempting to remove it from the basal ring to minimize procedural risks and ensure proper valve placement.
