(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.(b)(4).The incident information was reviewed; however, a failure analysis of the complaint device could not be performed because the product was not returned for analysis.Therefore, the analysis of this complaint will be an assessment of the manufacturing records and information provided to abbott vascular.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot.In this case, there was no reported device malfunction associated with the steerable guiding catheter (sgc).The reported patient effect of atrial perforation, as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use (ifu), is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported atrial septal defect was likely related to procedural conditions, as the sgc crosses the septum during positioning.The reported additional therapy/non-surgical treatment was a result of case-specific circumstances, as a patent foramen ovale (pfo) occluder was used to close the shunt.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.

This is being filed to report that after the steerable guiding catheter (sgc) was removed, a shunt was observed at the atrial septum, which required a patent foramen ovale (pfo) occluder and is considered intervention to prevent injury.It was reported that the initial mitraclip procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2015, to treat mixed mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 3.One clip was implanted and the mr was reduced to <1.On (b)(6) 2015, a second mitraclip procedure was performed due to progression of disease.One clip was implanted medial to the first one and the mr was reduced to <1.After the steerable guiding catheter (sgc) was removed, a left-right shunt was observed at the artial septum; therefore, a patent foramen ovale (pfo) occluder was used to close the shunt.The patient was confirmed to be clinically stable post-procedure.No additional information was provided.
