This is filed to report single leaflet device attachment and recurrent mitral regurgitation.On (b)(4) 2021, a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat mixed mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4.One clip was successfully implanted, reducing mr to a grade of 1.The following day, the patient became violently sick which caused the patients blood pressure to significantly increase.The significant increase in blood pressure caused the clip to detach from the posterior leaflet and remained attached to the anterior leaflet (single leaflet device attachment/slda), causing mr to increase to a grade of 3-4.It is unknown what caused the patient to get sick, but medication was administered.On (b)(6) 2021, a second mitraclip procedure was performed to stabilize the slda and treat the recurrent mr.One clip was successfully implanted, reducing mr to a grade of 1-2.No additional information was provided.
