Event Description
|
This report is filed as chordal rupture occurred during use of clip delivery system (cds 71006u165).It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure treating functional mitral regurgitation grade 3.The patient presented with a dilated left ventricle.Two mitraclips were implanted in an intended area and remained stable and well seated, however, the mr remained grade 3.Reportedly, the two implanted mitraclips were performing as intended although there was no reduction in mr.A third clip delivery system (cds 71006u165) was advanced to the mitral valve.After the second grasp of the leaflets, there was a chordal rupture of the anterior medial leaflet.It was decided to not implant this third mitraclip and to remove the device from the anatomy.There was no treatment provided and the mr remained grade 3.There was no additional information provided regarding this issue.

(b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents reported from this lot.It should be noted that the reported patient effect of mitral valve injury (tissue damage), as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use (ifu), is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.All available information was investigated and the reported failure grasping the leaflets appears to be related to patient morphology/pathology.The reported patient effect of tissue damage appears to be a result of multiple attempts that resulted in failure grasping the leaflet (procedural conditions).There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
