It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat functional mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4.A mitraclip xtw was inserted and deployed on the mitral valve.A second clip, a mitraclip xt, was then prepared for use and inserted.However, during placement of the second clip, the clip dove slightly lateral.It was suggested to correct the clip by applying the m knob.However, the physician decided to open the clip first and then move the clip, which resulted in the clip becoming caught on anatomy.Troubleshooting was performed.It was noted that removing m knob did not result in the clip moving due to the chordal interaction.However, the clip was unable to be removed.Although the clip became caught in chordae, it was able to grasp both leaflets.The second clip was then repositioned closer to the first clip, the leaflets were able to be grasped, and the clip was deployed on the mitral valve.It was noted that both clips were attached to both leaflets, with chordae.The clip was stable on the leaflets.The procedure was completed, and the mr was reduced to a grade of 1.There was no clinically significant delay in the procedure.
