Event Description
|
This is filed to report thrombosis, neurological deficit and medical intervention.It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4.One clip was implanted, reducing the mr to <1.Post-procedure, the echocardiogram revealed thrombosis in the left atrium.The physician stated the clip contributed to the thrombosis.Heparin was administered to the patient.It was noted that approximately 4 days post-procedure, the patient has not woken up from the anesthesia.A computed tomography (ct) showed thrombosis in the right carotid.The patient was transferred to another facility for treatment.The thrombosis was successfully extracted through percutaneous transluminal intervention (pti).The clip is stable on both leaflets.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

Internal file number - (b)(4).The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot.Based on the information reviewed, a definitive cause for the thrombosis could not be determined.In addition, the reported neurological deficit/dysfunction appears to be a result of the thrombus in the right carotid artery.The reported patient effect of mitraclip implant thrombosis as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, is a known possible complication associated with mitraclip procedures.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
