It was reported that a triclip procedure was performed to treat functional tricuspid regurgitation (tr) with a grade of 3-4 on a patient with thin leaflets.A triclip xtw was inserted and deployed on the tricuspid valve without issues, reducing tr to trace.However, after the procedure, the patient coded (cardiac arrest), and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) was performed, and the patient was administered protamine.A transesophageal echocardiogram (tee) was performed and revealed that the clip had detached from the septal leaflet and remained attached to the other leaflet (single leaflet device attachment/slda).The patient had return of spontaneous circulation (rosc) after 2 minutes.It was noted that one physician's opinion was that the patient coded due to the slda, but another physician's opinion was that the patient coded due to the administration of protamine.The patient was reported to be stable, awake, and talking.No additional information was provided.
