It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat a functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with grade of 4.The leaflets were grasped and performed a full assessment of the grasp including gradient, 3d tissue bridge, and leaflet insertion.At this point, the patient started to become unstable with tachycardia and low blood pressure and it was decided by the physician to deploy the clip.After the pin had been pulled after the second establish final arm angle (efaa), it was determined by the imager that the posterior leaflet was no longer as stable as previously, possibly due to the tachycardia.The leaflet was observed to tear.At this point, the deployment steps were continued since the pin had already been pulled.The patient was monitored after the procedure, no effusion was noted after the procedure.Patient was stabilized by anesthesiologist using various medications.Final mr was at grade 2.
