Abstract
BACKGROUND: We assessed the safety and feasibility of permanent implantation of a novel coronary sinus mitral repair device (PTMA, Viacor Inc). METHODS AND RESULTS: Symptomatic (New York Heart Association class 2 or 3) patients with primarily functional mitral regurgitation (MR) were included. A diagnostic PTMA procedure was performed in the coronary sinus venous continuity. MR was assessed and the PTMA device adjusted to optimize efficacy. If MR reduction (> or =1 grade) was observed, placement of a PTMA implant was attempted. Implanted patients were evaluated with echocardiographic, quality of life, and exercise capacity metrics. Nineteen patients received a diagnostic PTMA study. Diagnostic PTMA was effective in 13 patients (MR grade 3.2+/-0.6 reduced to 2.0+/-1.0), and PTMA implants were placed in 9 patients. Four devices were removed uneventfully (7, 84, 197, and 216 days), 3 for annuloplasty surgery due to observed PTMA device migration and/or diminished efficacy. No procedure or device-related major adverse events with permanent sequela were observed in any of the diagnostic or implant patients. Sustained reductions of mitral annulus septal-lateral dimension from 3D echo reconstruction dimensions were observed (4.0+/-1.2 mm at 3 months). CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous implantation of the PTMA device is feasible and safe. Acute results demonstrate a possibly meaningful reduction of MR in responding patients. Sustained favorable geometric modification of the mitral annulus has been observed, though reduction of MR has been limited. The PTMA method warrants continued evaluation and development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
