Objective: The MitraClip® NT (MC-NT) as an updated version aim to facilitate improved maneuvering of the guide catheter and more efficient leaflet capture due to technical improvements of the delivery system and clip material.

Methods: We analyzed a total population of 231 patients from our Ulm - Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair registry. To adjust for differences of baseline characteristics a propensity-score matching was performed (N=142). 30-day endpoints were analyzed in accordance with the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC).
