Event Description
|
This is filed to report the single leaflet device attachment (slda) and increased mitral regurgitation (mr) with heart failure.It was reported that the initial mitraclip procedure was performed on (b)(6) 2018, to treat degenerative mr with a grade of 2-3.One clip (80614u125) was successfully implanted, reducing the mr to 1.Approximately 2-3 weeks post procedure, the patient suddenly experienced heart failure symptoms, including shortness of breath, weakness and fatigue.Echocardiogram was performed which noted the clip detached from the posterior leaflet and remained attached to the anterior leaflet (slda) and the mr increased to 2-3.On (b)(6) 2019, a second procedure was performed for treatment.Two clips were implanted to stabilize the slda clip, one clip each on the medial and lateral side of slda and the mr was reduced to 1.No additional information was provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

Internal file number - (b)(4).The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history records identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to the reported event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history revealed no indication of a lot specific product issue.All available information was investigated and a definitive cause for the single leaflet device attachment (slda) in this incident could not be determined.The reported dyspnea, heart failure, fatigue and recurrent mitral regurgitation (mr) appears to be cascading effects of the sdla as the patients mr had increased to grade 2-3.The reported patient effects of dyspnea, worsening mr and worsening heart failure are listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use as known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
