Results from the largest trial yet in transcatheter valve replacement continues to demonstrate strong results for Edwards Lifesciences Corp.’s Evoque system. A late-breaking presentation at the PCR London Valves 2022 meeting provided one-year follow-up results from the Triscend study showing better than 90% survival and 99% freedom from heart failure hospitalization. Further, 97.6% of patients maintained mild or trace tricuspid regurgitation.
Edwards Lifesciences Corp., of Irvine, Calif., reported positive quarterly results Jan. 30, and it was particularly bolstered by strength with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). CEO Mike Mussallem called out the fourth quarter underlying sales growth of 19%, giving much credit to TAVR.
