Event Description
|
This report is being filed due to recurrent mitral regurgitation and a single leaflet device attachment.Patient id: (b)(6).It was reported that on (b)(6) 2021, the patient presented with degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with a posterior leaflet prolapse, mitral annular and leaflet calcification.One mitraclip (cds0701-ntw, 10301r186) was implanted without a device issue, reducing the mr to grade 2+.On (b)(6) 2021, a follow-up echocardiogram was performed, and the mr increased to grade 3+.On (b)(6) 2022, another follow-up echocardiogram was performed, and the mr had increased to grade 4+.Reportedly, the clip had a single leaflet device attachment (slda).No additional information was provided regarding this issue.

Subsequent to the initial report, the additional information was received: in the physicians opinion, the single leaflet device attachment was due to patient anatomy.There was no known tissue injury.No additional treatment was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
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 did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.Based on available information, the cause of the reported mitral valve insufficiency/regurgitation (recurrent mr) associated with the increase in mr was due to the single leaflet device attachment (slda).The cause of the reported incomplete coaptation (postprocedure) associated with the slda due to challenging patient anatomy (posterior leaflet prolapse, annular calcification, and leaflet calcification).The reported patient effect of mitral regurgitation, as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported serious injury/ illness/ impairment was a result of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.

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 did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.Based on available information, the reported mitral valve insufficiency/ regurgitation (recurrent mr) associated with the increase in mr, the reported dyspnea (treatment with medication(s)), the reported hypertension (treatment with medication(s)), the reported swelling/ edema associated with the weight gain, the reported syncope/fainting, and the reported heart failure/congestive heart failure (treatment with medication(s)), appear to be due to the single leaflet device attachment (slda).The reported incomplete coaptation (postprocedure) associated with the slda was due to challenging patient anatomy (posterior leaflet prolapse, annular calcification, and leaflet calcification).The reported patient effects of mitral regurgitation, dyspnea, edema, hypertension, and heart failure, as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, are known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported hospitalization and medication required were results of case-specific circumstances.There remains no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.H6 health effect - impact code 4614 removed.

Event Description
|
Subsequent to the previous report, the additional information was received: on (b)(6) 2022 worsening tricuspid regurgitation was diagnosed.Reportedly, the worsening tr was due to the device deficiency.
