It was reported this was a mitraclip procedure to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4, a dilated left atrium, and a restricted and thin posterior leaflet.An xtw clip was inserted and advanced under the mitral valve.However, after pulling back the actuator knob, the clip detached from the posterior leaflet and remained attached to the anterior leaflet (single leaflet device attachment/slda).It was noted after the slda, a rip to the posterior leaflet was observed.To stabilize the slda, an additional clip was deployed laterally and successfully implanted, reducing mr to a grade of 2.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.

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.The investigation determined the reported slda appears to be related to patient morphology/pathology.The tissue injury appears to be related to the slda.Tissue injury is listed in the instructions for use as a known possible complication associated with the mitraclip procedures.The reported unexpected medical intervention was a result of case specific circumstance.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
