Evolut™ TAVR has a differentiated and intentional design.
Built on the original CoreValve™ platform, Evolut™ TAVR precisely conforms to the patient’s anatomy, maximizing space for optimal blood flow to consistently deliver large EOAs and low gradients over time. The Evolut™ TAVR proprietary nitinol frame conforms to the annulus for consistent radial force across wide, treatable annulus range.
Supra-annular mounting
Facilitates circularity and maximizes leaflet coaptation for lower gradients and reduced workload on the ventricle.1
Higher outward canted commissures
Distribute mechanical forces to reduce leaflet stress, provide a larger effective orifice area, and minimize prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM).1
External tissue wrap
Increases surface contact with native anatomy to reduce the risk of paravalvular leak (PVL).2
Four times larger windows
Intended to enable coronary access with the Evolut™ FX+ TAV.†
TAVR risks may include, but are not limited to, death, stroke, damage to the arteries, bleeding, and need for permanent pacemaker.
Valve performance matters from day one.
Valve performance helps keep patients alive and out of the hospital.3
Durable valve performance, as defined by freedom from bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (BVD), is critical, regardless of the procedure or platform.
Four categories of bioprosthetic valve dysfunction‡
Structural valve deterioration
Occurs years after AVR
Non-structural valve dysfunction
Occurs immediately after AVR
Thrombosis
Occurs unpredictably
anytime after AVR
Endocarditis
Occurs unpredictably
anytime after AVR
Poor valve performance results in worse outcomes.

The Evolut™ TAVR design has a proven legacy of performance.
Years of research and rigorous trials have proven the Evolut™ design, establishing it as a clear leader in valve performance compared to both SAVR and other TAVR option.5,6
SMART Trial
Most recently in the SMART Trial, Evolut™ TAVR demonstrated vastly superior valve performance§ vs. SAPIEN™* platform in small annulus◊ patients with excellent early patient outcomes at 1 year.5
TAVR risk include, but are not limited to, death, stroke, damage to the arteries, bleeding, and need for permanent pacemaker.

bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (BVD)‡
Evolut™ TAVR: 9.4%
SAPIEN™* TAVR: 41.6%
For every 10 patients treated with SAPIEN™* TAV, 4 developed BVD. Using the number needed to treat (NNT) from the SMART Trial, of those, 3 could have been avoided if they had been treated with an Evolut™ TAV.7

Demonstrating predictable, excellent outcomes
The use of standardized optimized care pathways and cusp overlap with the next generation Evolut™ FX TAV system is associated with low PPI rates and no moderate or severe AR at 30 days.8

The Evolut™ platform evolves without compromising valve performance.
In partnership with physicians, the Evolut™ design has been meticulously refined and improved to solve unmet needs. Every decision is driven by the relentless pursuit of optimal and durable performance.
