People who know,
think Evolut First.

The evidence points to Evolut TAVR.

The best durability.

Only CoreValve™/Evolut TAVR has shown a durability benefit over SAVR in multi-centered, randomized clinical trials out to 5 years1 and 10 years.2

Durability starts
with design.

Structural valve deterioration3 was defined as moderate or severe hemodynamic SVD (Mean gradient ≥ 20 mm Hg or Mean gradient ≥ 10 mm Hg change from index discharge or moderate/severe intra-prosthetic aortic regurgitation [AR]-new or worsening from discharge).

TAVR risks may include, but are not limited to, death, stroke, damage to the arteries, bleeding, and need for permanent pacemaker.

Performance that matters.

||Bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (BVD) was defined as3,5: SVD6(mean gradient ≥ 10 mm Hg increase from discharge/30 days AND ≥ 20 mm Hg at last echo or new onset/increase of ≥ moderate intraprosthetic aortic regurgitation), NSVD (30-day severe PPM at 30-day/discharge5or severe PVR through 5 years), clinical valve thrombosis, and endocarditis.

TAVR risks may include, but are not limited to: death, stroke, damage to the arteries, bleeding, and the need for a permanent pacemaker.

Supra-annular design benefits.

Evolut™ transcatheter aortic valve implanted in the aortic annulus

Built on a proven foundation. 

With its supra-annular, self-expanding valve frame, Evolut TAVR is built on the original CoreValve platform, which has consistently shown strong EOAs and low gradients over time.

How did we design for durability? 

More surface 
Taller leaflet mounting allows for a greater distance between the commissure and the edge of the leaflet, distributing stress over a greater distance.

More height 
By decoupling the native annular plane, where the sealing occurs, from the working portion of the prosthetic leaflets, you can facilitate circularity and maximize leaflet coaptation.

More room 
The tall valve keeps the working portion above and unconstrained by the native annulus, allowing for a large effective orifice area.
