It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat a mixed mitral regurgitation (mr) with grade of 4 and prolapsed posterior (p3) leaflet.During an attempt to fully close the nt clip after grasping a3/p3 lateral, a loss of leaflet capture was observed on the posterior leaflet.This caused a tear of the posterior leaflet.The clip was then repositioned to grasp a3/p3 medial, reducing mr to grade 1-2.
