This is filed to report pulmonary embolism.It was reported that on (b)(6) 2022, the patient presented with functional mitral regurgitation (mr) grade 4+.During the septal puncture to access the left atrium, the right ventricle (rv) showed a slight enlargement.Treatment continued, however, the patient¿s oxygenation levels (spo2) decreased and further expansion of the rv was observed.A pulmonary embolism (pe) was diagnosed.The procedure was discontinued, and no clip had been implanted.The mr remained unchanged at grade 4+.Per physician, the event was unrelated to the device, and it was most likely caused by the patient's history of deep vein thrombosis (dvt).There was no clinically significant delay.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.Based on the information reviewed, the reported pulmonary embolism resulting in hypoxia appears to be due to patient conditions (enlargement of the right ventricle and dvt).The reported serious injury/illness/impairment was a result of case-specific circumstances.Pulmonary embolism is listed in the instructions for use as a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
