Event Description

This is being filed to report the thrombus requiring intervention. It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4+. The steerable guide catheter (sgc) was inserted and advanced to the right atrium (ra) when a 2cm thrombus was observed on echo. An attempt was made to retrieve the blood clot with the sgc and a snare device however a small thrombus remained. The sgc was removed and the procedure aborted with the mr remaining at 4+. There was no evidence of thrombosis in the right ventricle (rv), ra, and inferior vena cava (ivc). There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient sequela. No additional information was provided.
