Heart Valve Replacement (Transcatheter)
Heart Valve Replacement (Transcatheter)
Transcatheter valve technology represents a less invasive means for treating heart valve disease and is designed to allow physicians to deliver replacement valves via a catheter through the body's cardiovascular system, thus eliminating the need to open the chest.

Summary
CoreValve Evolut R Transcatheter Aortic Valve
The CoreValveTM EvolutTM R Transcatheter Aortic Valve (TAVR) system was built on the proven foundation of the CoreValve platform. It was designed specifically to meet the clinical needs of patients with severe aortic stenosis at extreme or high risk for surgical valve replacement.
The Evolut R system provides control during deployment for accurate positioning with the ability to recapture and reposition the valve. It is the only system indicated down to 5.0mm vessel diameter—that's the lowest profile for all valve sizes in the market today–and treats an annulus range from 17*/18-26 mm.
Deliberate design improvements to the Evolut R valve contribute to an enhanced sealing with a more conformable frame, resulting in exceptional hemodynamics.
