Date of event - estimated.The device was not returned for analysis.A review of the lot history record revealed 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 complaints reported from this lot.The reported patient effects of mitral regurgitation (mr) and dyspnea, as listed in the mitraclip system instructions for use, (ifu), are known possible complications associated with mitraclip procedures.Based on the information provided, the reported recurrent mr appears related to the single leaflet device attachment (slda) and the dyspnea was due to the recurrent mr.The investigation was unable to determine a conclusive cause for the slda.There is no indication of a product issue with respect to manufacture, design, or labeling.
