Hazard / Issue

There is a potential risk for unintentional interaction of the Impella motor housing with the distal stent of a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) resulting in destruction of the impeller blades. This has resulted in low flow from the damaged Impella system. Systemic embolization of the fractured impeller material is a possibility.
