This is filed for recurrent mitral regurgitation, partial clip movement and required intervention.It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure, performed on (b)(6) 2021, treating functional mitral regurgitation (mr) of grade 4.The patient anatomy included a severely dilated left ventricle.One clip was implanted and the mr was reduced to grade 1-2.On (b)(6) 2021, transthoracic echocardiogram was performed and a single leaflet device attachment (slda) was noted, with the mr increased to grade 4.A second mitraclip procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2021.One additional clip was implanted, reducing the mr to grade 2+.It was noted that the previously implanted clip appeared to be partially attached to the posterior leaflet and fully attached to the anterior leaflet.Post procedure, the patient was in stable condition.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 other complaints reported from this lot.The reported patient effect of mitral valve insufficiency/regurgitation (mr) is listed in the instructions for use as a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.Based on the information reviewed, a cause for the reported migration (partial clip movement) cannot be determined.The mitral valve insufficiency/regurgitation (mr) appears to be the result of the clip migration.The unexpected medical intervention and hospitalization were a result of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
