Event Description
|
It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4, prolapsed posterior leaflet, and flail.While inserting a steerable guide catheter (sgc) into the femoral vein, the tension was too high, and the tip of the sgc was broken.Damage was noted to the soft tip.Therefore, the sgc was removed and replaced with another sgc to continue the procedure.A mitraclip xtr was successfully implanted.Another mitraclip xtr was deployed.However, post deployment of the clip, the clip detached from the posterior leaflet and remained attached to the anterior leaflet.The procedure was discontinued.The mr remained at a grade of 4.The patient was transferred for vascular surgery, but this procedure was discontinued.The patient¿s postoperative signs were normal.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.Based on available information, the reported incomplete coaptation (slda, single leaflet device attachment), associated with the clip detaching from the posterior leaflet post deployment, was due to pre-existing patient anatomy as per the physician.The reported unchanged mr was related to the slda.The reported patient effect of mitral regurgitation, as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported hospitalization and surgical intervention were results of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.Na.
