It was reported that on (b)(6) 2024, a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat mitral regurgitation (mr).The patient presented with challenging anatomy and had a previous non-abbott clip attempt that failed.Due to the patient's condition, the transseptal puncture was not optimal but the steerable guide catheter (sgc) was still able to be steered down to the valve.An xtw (lot: 30920r2053) was then attempted to be implanted.Grasping was challenging.After two gripper cycles, the posterior gripper could not be confirmed to be lowering during simultaneous actuation.Troubleshooting was attempted but the gripper would not lower.The clip was removed from the patient.Upon inspection, the gripper line was not visible.A replacement xtw clip was used to complete the procedure, reducing mr to moderate.
