Edwards MC3 Annuloplasty System
Tricuspid Disease Frequently Accompanies Left-Sided Disease
Twenty-five percent of patients undergoing mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation received a concomitant tricuspid repair.1

Tricuspid Regurgitation is a Progressive Ongoing Process
Once the annulus is dilated, the progression of TR will subsequently become clinically relevant.2

Grade of TR Significantly Impacts Survival
“Increasing TR severity is associated with worse survival in men regardless of LVEF or pulmonary artery pressure.“ 3

The Edwards MC3 Annuloplasty Ring
  • Its anatomically correct design conforms to the 3-D tricuspid orifice and minimizes stress on sutures.
  • It provides more accurate remodeling.
  • Progressive flexibility is created from the unique processing of the titanium band.
  • The Edwards MC3 annuloplasty ring is covered with material that encourages host tissue ingrowth.
