October 26, 2023- Medtronic announced four-year results from the Evolut Low Risk Trial. The Medtronic Evolut™ transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system demonstrated exceptional outcomes and sustained valve performance, proven by significantly better hemodynamics than surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
Only Evolut TAVR has reported consistently lower and diverging rates of death or disabling stroke versus state-of-the-art surgery, at four years. The data were presented at the 35th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Since the approval of TAVR in low-risk surgical patients, there is an ongoing need for evidence to better understand the intermediate and longer-term durability of TAVR devices of different designs.
