Edwards received notification of a pascal in mitral position where there was a suspected leaflet injury.There were imaging challenges and dense chordal regions were identified during the case.Chordae damage was identified after multiple grasp attempts with the ace, as second implant.Standard troubleshooting measures, elongation were used to navigate away from the chordae.The implant was moved more medially, away from the suspected injury.Baseline mr was 4 and post op mr was also 4- severe.

The following sections were updated/corrected/added: b4, d4, g3, g6, h2, h4, h6 and h10.The complaint for chordae damaged in attempt to capture leaflet was confirmed with other empirical evidence.No manufacturing non-conformities were found as a result of the complaint evaluation.Available information suggests that patient factors (dense chordal regions, chordal interaction, mild thickening of aml/pml, tethering of pml), and procedural use (imaging challenges, a multiple individual leaflets grasping attempts and optimizations of both leaflets aml and pml) contributed to this adverse event.
