It was reported that a mitraclip procedure was performed to treat degenerative mitral regurgitation (mr) with a grade of 4 on a patient with a prolapsed posterior leaflet and pre-existing flail.A mitraclip xtw was inserted and deployed on the mitral valve.A second mitraclip xtw (60422r1004) was then prepared for use.However, while preparing the second mitraclip xtw, after testing the lock sequence, the clip would not open.Troubleshooting was performed but was not successful.Therefore, the clip was not used.The procedure was completed with one clip implanted, reducing mr to a grade of 1.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.Device returned and analysis performed on (b)(6)2026 revealed that the mandrel was protruding from the proximal end of the actuator knob, the collet was broken, and there was a leak at the handle-arm positioner.
