Event Description
|
This is filed to report the clip movement and leaflet tear resulting and increased mitral regurgitation (mr).It was reported that the initial mitraclip procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2017, to treat functional mr with a grade of 4.Visualization was difficult due to the dilated heart.One clip was implanted, reducing the mr to 1-2.On (b)(6) 2017, the patient returned with dyspnea and an mr grade of 3-4.Echocardiogram was performed, which found that the posterior leaflet was torn.It appeared that the clip had slightly moved from its initial position on the posterior leaflet.The patient was treated with medication and confirmed to be stable.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(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 that would have contributed to the reported event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.The reported patient effects of worsening mitral regurgitation (mr), tissue damage and dyspnea as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, are known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.All available information was investigated and the reported failure to bond (partial clip movement) appears to be related to both challenging patient morphology/anatomy and procedural circumstances.The reported poor image resolution was related to the dilated heart.The reported mr appears to be a result of partial clip movement and dyspnea was a cascading effect of the mr.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
