The patient required additional measures performed to retrieve the failed clip and then complete the mitral valve repair, which resulted in prolonged anesthesia, fluoro time, and procedure length.When we were to deploy the clip, we noticed that the clip that was closed opened spontaneously for unclear reasons.Multiple attempts were performed to reclose the clips, but these efforts were unsuccessful.After spending at least forty-five minutes doing various maneuvers, it was decided to send the patient to surgery.Another provider was consulted and was kind to come to the cath lab for evaluation from ct standpoint.An additional provider was consulted to help with potential surgical means of removing the clip.The clip was released, but the clip and gripper lines were not released.After placing a wire in the left atrium, the mitraclip moved back spontaneously.Once the device was in the ivc, we were able to snare the device into the guide using a ensare.
