This is filed to report the filament attached to the tip of the clip.It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat mixed mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 3-4.The clip delivery system (cds) was advanced to the mitral valve.After straddling, the m-knob was applied; however, a filament was observed attached to the tip of the clip.It could not be determined if this was a fiber or a clot.The activated coagulation time (act) was 250 at the time.The clip was not implanted, and the cds was removed and replaced.Once outside of the anatomy, the cds was inspected and the filament was still attached to the tip of the clip; however, it could not be determined if it was thrombus or fiber.One clip was implanted, reducing mr to 1-2.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.No additional information was provided.
