EDWARDS INTUITY Elite
valve system
The EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system is designed to achieve three important goals simultaneously:
The EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system represents our commitment to surgeons and patients in heart valve therapy.
We have combined our proven pericardial valve technology with our innovations in transcatheter heart valves to create a surgical valve designed to streamline procedures and well combined with small incisions. We believe more efficient, less invasive procedures can provide significant benefits, both during the procedure and after.
This is the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve platform.
Built on a trusted, proven valve platform
Designed for durability. Created to last.
The EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system combines our proven pericardial valve technology with our innovations in transcatheter heart valves.
Provides rapid deployment for streamlined procedures
Streamline implantation. Because time is precious.
Well combined with small incision surgery
Empowering multiple approaches. Progress through access.
The EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system is designed to enhance the ease of implantation through small incisions using three guiding sutures.
Excellent haemodynamic performance
Consistent excellent EOA and low gradients up to 5 years were observed during the TRITON study.
* These numbers represent the patients who had a follow up visit during discharge, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. Not the number of patients for which the EOA and the mean gradient was measured. These data pertain to an earlier generation EDWARDS INTUITY valve as part of TRITON trial.
Longer-term follow-up of patients from Edwards’ studies are ongoing. Physicians should assess the benefits and risks of the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve prior to implantation.

Important safety information:
Use of the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve system may be associated with new or worsened conduction disturbances, which may require a Permanent cardiac Pacemaker Implant (PPI). The rate of PPI for the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve is within the range reported in the literature for various rapid deployment valves, but higher than that reported for surgical aortic valves1,3,4. Physicians should assess the benefits and risks of the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve prior to implantation. See instructions for use for additional information.
