Event Description
|
This is filed to report tissue damage and mitral valve replacement surgery.It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4.The clip delivery system (cds) was advanced to the leaflets.The patient had a flail and leaflet grasping was difficult, but once grasped, the gradient was noted to be high.During removal of the cds, the clip became caught in the chordae and a chordal rupture and flail was noted.Due to the high gradient, the procedure was aborted.On (b)(6) 2018, the patient was taken to surgery for mitral valve replacement.Post-surgery, the patient was stable.No additional information was provided.

(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 lot.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no similar incidents reported from this lot.The reported patient effect of mitral valve injury (tissue damage) as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.The reported difficulty grasping appears to be related to patient morphology/pathology and due to leaflet flail.The reported difficulty removing the clip from the anatomy (chordae) appears to be due to a combination of patient anatomy and procedural circumstances of difficulty grasping.The tissue damage was likely a result of the clip becoming caught in the chordae (difficult to remove) and therefore, related to procedural circumstances.Based on the information reviewed, there is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to design, manufacturing or labeling of the device.
