This is filed to report single leaflet device attachment and recurrent mitral regurgitation.It was reported that on (b)(6) 2021, a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4.The patient had a restricted posterior leaflet, tethered leaflets and a history of coronary artery disease.An xtw was inserted, and grasping was performed.It was noted that due to the restricted posterior leaflet, grasping was challenging.The clip was able to be deployed on the mitral valve and mr was reduced to a grade of 1-2.The following day, echocardiography showed the clip had detached from the posterior leaflet and remained attached to the anterior leaflet (single leaflet device attachment/slda), causing mr to increase to a grade of 3+.On (b)(6) 2021, a second mitraclip procedure was performed to stabilize the slda.One clip was implanted, reducing mr to a grade of 1-2.No additional information was provided.

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 identified no similar complaints reported from this lot.Based on available information, a cause for the reported difficult or delayed positioning is due to patient anatomy.Moreover, the cause for the reported incomplete coaptation appears to be due to patient anatomy.Additionally, the reported recurrent mitral regurgitation (mr) appears to be cascading effects of incomplete coaptation.Mr is listed in the instructions for use as a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported hospitalization and medical intervention are the results of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
