This is filed to report single leaflet device attachment (slda) and recurrent mitral regurgitation, requiring intervention.It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) grade of 4 with a posterior flail.One clip was implanted with no reported issue, reducing mr to grade <1.On the next day, a single leaflet device attachment (slda) was observed.The clip had detached from the posterior leaflet and mr increased to grade 4.It was noted that the patient went into rapid atrial fibrillation and their blood pressure had dropped.There was a small amount of calcium on the tip of the posterior leaflet, which might have caused the clip to detach.Additional mitraclip procedure was performed to stabilize the slda clip.One clip was implanted with no reported issue, reducing mr to grade <1.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.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 complaints reported from this lot.The investigation determined the reported slda appears to be related to patient morphology/pathology.The recurrent mr and subsequent atrial fibrillation and hypotension appear to be related to the slda.Mr, atrial fibrillation, and hypotension are listed in the instructions for use as known possible complications associated with the mitraclip procedures.The reported hospitalization and unexpected medical interventions were results of case specific circumstances.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
