This is being filed to report the thrombosis.
It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4+.
The steerable guide catheter (sgc) was inserted into the patient and then the clip delivery system (cds) was advanced.
As soon as the clip exited the sgc, thrombus was noted attached to the sgc.
The cds and sgc were carefully removed with the thrombus attached to the sgc.
The procedure was aborted with the mr remaining at 4+.
There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient sequela.
