This is filed to report unintended movement, single leaflet device attachment/slda and medical intervention.It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4+.It was noted a hyper mobile anterior leaflet.The clip delivery system (cds) was advanced to the mitral valve, and the clip was placed.However, upon release, tension was felt with the clip.The clip torqued to the anterior direction which caused the clip to become detached from the posterior leaflet but remain attached to the anterior leaflet (single leaflet device attachment/slda).Two additional clips were deployed on the lateral and medial side of the clip to stabilize the slda.Three clips were implanted, reducing mr to 2.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.

The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have resulted in this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar complaint reported from this lot.All available information was investigated, and a conclusive cause for unintended movement could not be determined in this complaint.The reported single leaflet device attachment/slda was a cascading effect of the unintended movement due to the torqueing/tension on clip causing posterior leaflet detachment.The reported additional therapy/non-surgical treatment appears to be due to case specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.Na.
