Event Description
|
This is filed to report the clip movement on the leaflet.It was reported that initial mitraclip procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2017, to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4+.1 clip was implanted successfully reducing mr grade to 1+-2.On (b)(6) 2018, the patient presented with shortness of breath.No treatment was performed.On (b)(6) 2018, the patient presented for a follow-up mitraclip procedure and it was noted that the implanted clip moved on the posterior leaflet, but was still slightly attached to the leaflet.The movement was noted to be due to the patients anatomy.Mr grade increased to 4.One clip was implanted reducing mr grade to 2.The patient was reported as doing well post procedure.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 identified no similar incidents reported from this lot.The reported patient effects of dyspnea and recurrent mitral regurgitation (mr), 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 partial clip movement appears to be related to the pre-existing patient anatomy.The reported recurrent mr was due to the partial clip movement and the reported dyspnea was likely the secondary effect of the recurrent mr.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacturing or labeling of the device.
