    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THIS IS FILED TO REPORT THROMBOSIS. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THIS WAS A MITRACLIP PROCEDURE TO TREAT DEGENERATIVE MITRAL REGURGITATION (MR) WITH A GRADE OF 4. ONE CLIP WAS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLANTED. THE SECOND CLIP DELIVERY SYSTEM (CDS) WAS ADVANCED TO THE LEFT ATRIUM. WHILE INSIDE THE LEFT ATRIUM, THROMBUS WAS OBSERVED ON THE TIP OF THE STEERABLE GUIDE CATHETER (SGC). THE CDS WAS REMOVED AND ASPIRATION WAS PERFORMED TO REMOVE THE THROMBUS FROM THE SGC TIP. THE CDS WAS CAREFULLY EXAMINED, CLEANED WITH HEPARINIZED SALINE AND RE-INSERTED INTO THE SGG. AFTER THE CDS REACHED THE LEFT ATRIUM, THROMBUS IMMEDIATELY FORMED ON THE TIP OF THE CLIP. THE CLIP WAS NOT IMPLANTED AND THE CDS WAS REMOVED WITH THE THROMBUS MATERIAL. A NEW CDS WAS USED AND THE CLIP WAS IMPLANTED AND NO FURTHER THROMBUS WAS OBSERVED. THREE CLIPS WERE IMPLANTED, REDUCING MR TO 1-2. THE ACTIVATED COAGULATION TIME (ACT) FLUCTUATED BETWEEN 180 TO 350 DURING THE PROCEDURE DESPITE MEASURING EVERY 20 MINUTES, AND ADMINISTERING HEPARIN ACCORDING TO NORMAL PROCEDURE. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED.
