Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE: EW), the global leader in the science of heart valves and hemodynamic monitoring, today announced that it has received CE Mark for its Edwards SAPIEN XT transcatheter aortic heart valve, as well as its NovaFlex transfemoral and Ascendra 2 transapical delivery systems.
The company is beginning a disciplined European launch of the new valve and the 18 French NovaFlex delivery system, and will expand the number of commercial sites utilizing the system throughout the year.
The Edwards SAPIEN XT transcatheter valve enables doctors to replace failing aortic valves without major surgery. The leaflet design of this new valve is modeled after Edwards clinically proven aortic tissue valves and its cobalt chromium frame provides improved radial strength and, therefore, enhanced circularity. The Edwards SAPIEN XT valve with the NovaFlex transfemoral delivery system is designed to provide easy, precise, balloon-expandable delivery of the valve.
“The Edwards SAPIEN XT valve platform offers best-in-class valve performance with a low-profile delivery system,” said Larry L. Wood, Edwards corporate vice president, transcatheter valve replacement. “We are excited about the new platform and our continued leadership in this transformational technology.”
As heart teams continue to gain clinical experience with the Edwards SAPIEN XT valve on the Ascendra 2 transapical delivery system, Edwards will begin introducing that system commercially in Europe during the second quarter. The Ascendra 2 system features a reduced profile and is designed for improving ease-of-use when delivering the valve through a small incision between the ribs.
