Event Description
|
This report is filed for partial clip movement/ potential single leaflet device attachment post deployment.It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed treating functional mitral regurgitation grade 4, with mildly calcified leaflets.One mitraclip was implanted without reported issue.A second mitraclip (cds 71106u144) was advanced to the mitral valve and, before implantation, the clip arms were slightly clockwise from perpendicular to the line of coaptation.This mitraclip was implanted close to the posterior 2 (p2) and posterior 1 (p1) indentation with reported sufficient leaflet capture.Post deployment, movement of the posterior leaflet was observed in some views.No treatment was provided and the mr had been reduced to grade 1-2.During a routine echocardiogram two days following, increased mr was observed.Additional imaging was performed the following day showing the second clip had possibly detached from the posterior 2 (p2) leaflet, while remaining attached to the anterior 2 (a2) leaflet (single leaflet device attachment-slda).No intervention has been performed and the patient will be medically observed.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 similar incidents reported from this lot.It should be noted that the reported patient effects of worsening mitral regurgitation (mr), 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 a definitive cause for the reported partial clip movement on the leaflet and ingle leaflet device attachment (slda) in this incident could not be determined.It is possible to be related to patient conditions (calcified leaflets and procedural circumstances), however, this cannot be confirmed.The reported worsening mr was likely related to procedural conditions and due to the movement/detachment of the clip from the leaflet.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
