PG - 402-411 LID - 10.1253/circj.CJ-21-0309 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The MitraClip NT System was approved for marketing in Japan on October 31, 2017, and a prospective, multi-center, single-arm Post-Marketing use Surveillance (PMS) study was launched in 2018. This is the first report of the Japan PMS study with 1-year subject outcomes.Methods and Results:A total of 500 patients were registered between April 2018 and January 2019. Patients with symptomatic chronic moderate-to-severe (3+) or severe mitral regurgitation (MR; 4+), MR with a Society of Thoracic Surgery (STS) replacement score of >/=8%, or presence of 1 pre-defined risk factor were enrolled. Primary outcome measures included acute procedural success (APS), and rate of Single Leaflet Device Attachment (SLDA) at 30 days. The overall cohort was elderly (77.9+/-9.48 years) with functional MR etiology in 71.6% of the subjects. The majority of subjects were New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III/IV (68.9%), with mean STS replacement score of 11.95+/-9.66%. The APS rate was 91.13% and the 30-day SLDA rate was 1.21%. Durable MR reduction was achieved with 88.1% of subjects at MR
