Breakthrough Transcatheter Heart Valve Technology
From the pioneer in the science of heart valve therapy comes an exciting breakthrough in aortic heart valve replacement:
- A balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve
- Aortic valve replacement without the invasive effects of open heart surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass
It’s What You Leave Behind That Matters
- Built upon Edwards Lifesciences more than fifty years of continuous refinement in heart valve technology
- Designed to provide excellent hemodynamics, uniform leaflet coaptation and a large, consistent effective orifice area
- Incorporates the same manufacturing processes used on premier Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna pericardial valves
- Bovine pericardial tissue
- Carpentier-Edwards ThermaFix process
- Leaflet thickness and elasticity matching
RetroFlex 3 Transfemoral Delivery System
Controlled Navigation
- Articulating distal end facilitates guidance over the arch and through the center of the aortic valve
- Tapered distal end aids in valve crossing
- Balloon-expandable deployment for accurate placement and consistent radial strength
- Easy to use delivery system handle
Ascendra Transapical Delivery System
Direct Antegrade Access
- Designed with the surgeon in mind
- Controlled insertion and navigation to the native valve
- Antegrade approach facilitates minimal difficulty crossing the native valve
- Balloon-expandable deployment for accurate placement of the Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve
