MDBR reports that Medtronic's new self-expanding 23mm CoreValve Evolute transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system has achieved the CE Mark.
They say that the device allows low-profile 18Fr delivery catheter via transfemoral, subclavian and direct aortic access and promotes the sealing between the prosthetic valve and the native valve. Apparently, the system has been successfully implanted in tens of thousands of patient, worldwide.
In addition to valve size of 23mm, Medtronic is offering 26mm, 29mm and 31mm sizes to treat various TAVI patient valve sizes.
