This is conservatively filed to report anaphylactic shock.It was reported that a patient presented with grade 4 mitral regurgitation (mr) for a mitraclip procedure.During the procedure, the steerable guide catheter (sgc) was entered into the right atrium, and the blood pressure dropped.Per the physician, the sgc was not responsible for the blood pressure drop, as there was no vascular damage, air embolus, or pericardial effusion.The procedure was completed with one clip implanted and the mr was reduced to grade <1.It was noted that the skin was flushed on the patient's lower body.Anaphylactic shock was diagnosed.Per the physician, it was unknown what caused the anaphylaxis.The patient and the blood pressure were stabilized after waking up.There were no adverse patient sequelae or clinically significant delay.No additional information was provided.
