It was reported that a patient presented with grade 4 degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) and a prolapsed anterior mitral leaflet for a mitraclip procedure.A mitraclip ntw was implanted central on anterior 2 and posterior 2 leaflet segments (a2/p2).The mr was reduced to grade 1-2 and the procedure was successful.Post-procedure, it a flap-like aortic dissection was noted in the left atrium.This was not noted prior to the mitraclip procedure.Per the physicians, this was considered benign.It was decided to observe the patient and perform a transthoracic echocardiogram 1-2 hours post-procedure to see if anything had changed.There were no adverse patient sequalae or clinically significant delay.

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.The investigation was unable to determine a cause for the reported vascular dissection (flap-like dissection noted on the left atrium).Vascular dissection is listed in the instructions for use as a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported serious injury/illness/impairment was a result of case specific circumstance as no intervention performed to address the dissection.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
