IRVINE, Calif., May 18, 2021 -- Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) today announced that clinical results from the company's transcatheter mitral and tricuspid programs were presented as part of the late-breaking clinical trials at EuroPCR 2021, demonstrating positive outcomes for patients impacted by mitral or tricuspid heart valve disease.
The clinical data presentations provided the following updates:
"In addition to the positive clinical outcomes the patients treated in these studies experienced, it was also encouraging to see improvements in functional status and quality of life," said Bernard J. Zovighian, Edwards' corporate vice president, transcatheter mitral and tricuspid therapies. "The patient populations impacted by mitral and tricuspid valve disease are large, diverse and complex. As we pursue our focus to lead and transform their treatment, the results from clinical studies that span our differentiated portfolio of therapies are important contributors to building the evidence to support these transformative transcatheter mitral and tricuspid treatments in different types of patients."
The PASCAL system and Cardioband system received CE Mark for treatment of patients with both mitral and tricuspid valve disease, and both therapies are available commercially in Europe; neither are approved in the United States and are only available via clinical trials.
The EVOQUE valve replacement system is an investigational device and is not available for sale in any country.
