Event Description
|
This is filed to report the suspected tissue damage.It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure performed to treat mixed mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4.The first clip was advanced to the mitral valve and the leaflets were grasped.However, as leaflet insertion was being evaluated, it was noted that the posterior leaflet slipped off the cilp arm.Attempts to re-grasp the leaflets was difficult due to the anatomy, the clip was repositioned medially and the leaflets were grasped.The clip was implanted; however, a leaflet tear was suspected and the mr returned to 4.A second clip was implanted to further reduce the mr.The mr remained significant, thus a 16mm amplatzer device was placed between the two clips; reducing mr to 1-2+.The patient is 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 this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history did not indicate a lot-specific quality issue.All available information was investigated and the reported failure to adhere or bond (difficulty grasping the leaflets and leaflet capture) was related to the challenging patient anatomy/morphology (restricted posterior leaflet).The reported tissue damage appears to be a cascading effect of the difficulty grasping the leaflets.It should be noted that the reported patient effect of mitral valve injury (tissue damage) 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.
