Event Description
|
This is filed to report the single leaflet device attachment (slda).It was reported that the initial mitraclip procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2018 to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with an mr grade of 4.The first clip (71024u143) was implanted successfully in a3/p3.The second clip (71215u181) was advanced, there was difficulty grasping the leaflets in a2/p2, due to very thin leaflets; the leaflets were eventually grasped during the third attempt, reducing the mr to 2.On (b)(6) 2018, transthoracic echocardiogram was performed, which found that the clip (71215u181) in a2/p2 detached from the anterior leaflet and remained attached to the posterior leaflet (slda) and mr increased to 3-4.The patient is stable.No additional treatment is planned for the patient.No additional treatment is planned.

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.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents reported from this lot.All available information was investigated and the reported single leaflet device attachment(slda) and difficulty grasping appear to be related to patient morphology/pathology.The reported patient effect of mitral regurgitation (mr) is a result of procedural conditions of the slda and difficulty grasping.It should be noted that the reported patient effect of worsening mr is listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use as a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacturing, or labeling of the device.
