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 was then inserted and advanced to the left ventricle and positioned medial to the first clip.However, it was observed that the clip was too far away.Therefore, the clip was inverted and brought back into the atrium.Once the clip returned to the atrium, it was observed that the first clip detached from the posterior leaflet and remained attached to the anterior leaflet (single leaflet device attachment/slda).To stabilize the clip, the second clip, the mitraclip xt, was repositioned and deployed on the lateral side of the first clip.To further stabilize the slda clip, a third clip was then inserted and deployed on the medial side of the first clip.The procedure was completed with three clips implanted, reducing mr to a grade of 1.It was noted that the patient tolerated the procedure well.There were no adverse patient effects and no clinically significant delay in the procedure.
