October 30, 2023- Abbott announced data from late-breaking presentations showing the impact of its minimally invasive heart devices in treating mitral and tricuspid valve disease. Data include findings from the TRILUMINATE™ pivotal trial that reinforce the safety and effectiveness of the TriClip™ transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system for patients with symptomatic, severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) despite optimal medical therapy.
The company also presented late-breaking data from the MitraClip™ EXPAND G4 real-world registry that highlights the device’s benefits across a broad group of patients with mitral regurgitation (MR).
Leaky valves in people with MR and TR can reduce the amount of blood being pumped through the body and make the heart work harder than it should. As a result, MR and TR can lead to other cardiovascular issues as well as severely limit a person’s quality of life. While historically surgery was often necessary to combat MR and TR, Abbott’s minimally invasive portfolio of structural heart devices has allowed more people around the world to be effectively treated without the risk of surgical complications.
The following studies using products from Abbott’s industry-leading structural heart portfolio were presented at the 35th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation in San Francisco (October 23-26, 2023).
