This is being filed to report the leak requiring intervention.
It was reported that this was a mitraclip procedure to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 3.
One clip was successfully placed without issue.
During insertion of the second clip delivery system (cds) the hemostatic valve was no longer tight and air entered the steerable guide catheter (sgc).
Aspiration was performed and the sgc was replaced with a new one.
The second clip was implanted, reducing mr to 1-2.
There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure and no adverse patient effects.
No additional information was provided.
