PASCAL Repair System
Innovation in Leaflet Repair
PASCAL Platform
One platform, two clasps in your hands
Now with the PASCAL repair system, you can treat even challenging tricuspid anatomies in more patients with TR, and get predictable capture, positioning and release for patients with MR.










More Opportunity, Lower MR Grades
A unique central spacer is designed to block more jet and minimize MR
Unique Central Spacer
Bridges coaptation gap and reduces stress on fragile leaflets
Implant Elongation
Facilitates safe repositioning within dense chordal structures
Made for Precision
Designed to navigate complex anatomies so you can fine-tune your repair
Nitinol
Spring based passive-closing system respects native anatomy
Optimised Performance
Leaflet capture with independent clasping and atraumatic clasp design
Independent Leaflet Grasping
Independent actuation and distinct clasp design allow leaflet capture optimization while respecting native anatomy
Narrower Design
Helps to optimize your treatment of mitral and tricuspid regurgitation
Mitral valve repair
The PASCAL platform is designed for predictable capture, positioning and release in patients with MR. The recently introduced PASCAL Ace implant expands your treatment options, allowing you to tailor the procedure to your needs. PASCAL Ace provides a narrow profile designed to improve ease of subvalvular navigation.
Central Spacer
Effectively reduces mechanical strain on the leaflets, avoiding areas of stress concentration
Nitinol design
Spring based passive-closing system respects native anatomy
Clasp design
Single-row retention element orientation designed to reduce the risk of leaflet damage even with multiple recapturing

MR
CLASP study shows sustained MR reduction and positive left ventricular remodeling accompanied by high survival and low HF Hospitalization rate
Study design & baseline parameters1
Study Design: Multicenter, multinational, prospective, single-arm study | |
---|---|
Total patients: 124 | FMR: 69% | DMR: 31% |
Baseline NYHA Class III/IV: 60.2% | MR severity ≥3+: 100% |
Mean age: 74.9 years | PISA EROA: 0.38 ± 0.15 cm2 |
Regurgitant volume: 57.3 ± 19.7 ml | Mean vena contracta width, A-P: 6.3 ± 1.4 mm |
Robust and significant MR Reduction at 2 years
TR
Multicenter studies for tricuspid leaflet repair therapy
First-in-human 12 month outcome2
In early compassionate use experience, 30 patients with severe or greater TR underwent tricuspid repair therapy with the PASCAL repair system. At 12 months, it demonstrated durable TR reduction* and low mortality. In addition, favorable right ventricular remodeling was sustained at the 12-month follow-up.
Grasping Use 90%
12 months 86%
12 months 93%
12 months 90%
*Site reported TR severity – no Echo Core Lab analysis
CLASP TR Early Feasibility Study 30-day outcome3
34 patients received PASCAL repair system for the treatment of symptomatic TR.
Method
- Multicenter, prospective, single-arm study in the United States
- 34 patients underwent transcatheter tricuspid repair therapy with an Edwards PASCAL valve repair system
- Mean age 76 years
NYHA Class III/IV: 79%
TR severity ≥ severe (3+ grade): 97%
Atrial fibrillation/flutter: 88%
- Mean age 76 years
Result at 30 days
- PASCAL shows a favorable safety profile and performed as intended in patients with symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation.
- Despite 55% torrential TR at baseline, importantly, 85% had at least 1 TR grade reduction and 70% patients had at least 2 TR grade reduction.
- The major adverse event rate was low at 5.9%, with no mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, or reintervention.
- Patients experienced significant improvements in functional status, quality of life, and exercise capacity.
Conclusions
In this early experience, the repair system performed as intended, with substantial TR reduction, favorable safety results with a low MAE rate, no mortality or reintervention, and significant improvements in functional status, exercise capacity, and quality of life.
