This report is filed for clip movement during the procedure and single leaflet device attachment 1 month post procedure.It was reported that on (b)(6) 2018 a mitraclip procedure was performed for degenerative mitral regurgitation grade 3 with posterior leaflet prolapse.Mitraclip (cds 80123u161) was implanted on the posterior leaflet 2 (p2) and anterior leaflet 2 (a2) segment.Post implantation, a lot of clip movement was noted due to the prolapsed tissue.As treatment, a second mitraclip was implanted at the a3-p3 segment, stabilizing leaflet movement.The procedure was completed and mr had been reduced to <1.During the one month follow-up on (b)(6) 2018, transthoracic echocardiogram showed severe mr.Mitraclip (cds 80123u161) had detached from the posterior leaflet but remained attached to the anterior leaflet (single leaflet device attachment-slda).There was no treatment and no hospitalization.Another mitraclip procedure was scheduled, however, on (b)(6) 2018, the patient went to sleep with a fever and expired in her sleep.Per physician, the death was not related to the mitraclip device and was non-cardiac related.No additional information was provided regarding this issue.

(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.It should be noted that the reported patient effects of mitral regurgitation (mr), as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use (ifu) is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.All available information was investigated and the reported partial clip movement on the leaflet and the subsequent single leaflet device attachment (slda) appears to be related to the patient morphology/pathology (prolapsed posterior leaflet).The reported worsening mr was likely related to procedural conditions and due to the movement/detachment of the clip from the leaflet.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
