This is filed to report the clip detaching from one leaflet requiring intervention.It was reported that the initial mitraclip procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2021, to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4+.One clip was implanted, reducing mr to 1-2+.On (b)(6) 2021 a follow up transesophageal echocardiography (tee) was performed which noted the clip had detached from the posterior leaflet (single leaflet device attachment (slda)) and the mr increased to 4+.Per the physician, the cleft on the posterior leaflet likely contributed to the slda.A second procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2021.One clip was implanted, reducing mr to 3+.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 incidents reported from this lot.The reported patient effect of mitral regurgitation (mr) as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use (ifu) is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.Based on available information, the reported incomplete coaptation/single leaflet device attachment (slda) appears to be related to challenging patient anatomy.The reported recurrent mr appears to be a cascading effect of the slda.The reported unexpected medical intervention and hospitalization were results of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
