This is filed to report ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, and air embolism.It was reported that on (b)(6) 2023 a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) grade 4.After advancing the clip delivery system (cds) into the patient, the patients blood pressure (bp) dropped and the patient went into ventricular fibrillation.A shock was administered with no response.After several more shocks the patient went into cardiac arrest.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed, additional shocks were administered, and the patients heart rate returned.However, the bp was still low and there was st elevation.Subsequently, all mitraclip devices were removed and a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (pcps) device.At this time air was suspected and the coronary artery was completely occluded due to the drop in bp resulting in right ventricular infarction.The procedure was then concluded with no change in mr and no clips implanted.Two days later the pcps device was removed and the patient remained stable.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 available information, the reported ventricular fibrillation (defibrillation), and the reported cardiac arrest (cpr), appear to be due to the myocardial infarction.The reported myocardial infarction (mi) (pti), and the reported non specific ekg/ecg changes associated with the st elevation, appear to be due coronary artery occlusion that occurred due to hypotension.The cause of the reported hypotension (therapy/non-surgical treatment, additional) could not be determined.The cause of the reported air embolism (therapy/non-surgical treatment, additional) could not be determined.The reported patient effects of embolism, hypotension, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, and ekg/ecg changes (cardiac arrhythmias), as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use (ifu), are known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported unexpected medical interventions were results of case-specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
