Evolut™ design differentiation is at the root of the valve performance and durability that has been proven in randomized clinical trials.1,2

Sustained valve performance

No other TAVI platform has shown better valve performance over SAVR in multicenter, randomized clinical trials.1

CoreValve™/Evolut™ TAVI is the first and only platform to demonstrate significantly better valve performance versus SAVR at 5 years.‡1


Bioprosthetic valve dysfunction out to 5 years†1

#

†  BVD was defined as follows:

1) stage ≥2 hemodynamic SVD, characterized as an increase in mean gradient of  ≥10 mm Hg from 30 days/discharge to last available echocardiogram with a final mean gradient of  ≥20 mm Hg, or new occurrence or increase of 1 grade or more of intraprosthetic AR resulting in moderate or severe regurgitation;

2) NSVD, severe PPM at 30 days/discharge or severe PVR through 5 years per Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC-3) criteria;

3) clinical valve thrombosis associated with clinical sequelae and hemodynamic impairment (CEC-adjudicated);

4) infectious endocarditis of the native valve or bioprosthesis following the Duke Classification system according to VARC-3 criteria

‡  In pooled analysis of intermediate- and high-risk patients.

A decade of durability


No other TAVI platform has ever shown a sustained durability benefit over SAVR in a multicenter, randomized clinical trial out to 10 years.†1


Statistically lower rates of severe structural valve deterioration (SVD) out to 10 years versus surgery†1

Performance today

The data from this real-world registry shows that SVD (structural valve deterioration) is a predictor of heart failure rehospitalization and cardiovascular mortality.

The risk of SVD was also significantly lower in the SE (self-expanding) valve arm (89,7% CoreValve™ Evolut™ valves).1

Impact of SVD in clinical outcomes

SVD was associated with increased risk of heart failure rehospitalization and a trend towards a higher risk of cardiovascular death.

The risk of SVD was higher among BE-valve compared to SE-valve recipients in the matched cohorts.

Prosthesis-patient mismatch is a predictor of mortality in younger and Low-Risk Patients

A recent study in young and low-risk patients demonstrates that PPM† (Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch) is independently associated with outcomes at 5-years.1



Age <75 years, 
STS score <4 %

(N = 512)


Significant predictors
 

  • Younger age
  • Female
  • Larger BSA
  • No balloon postdilation
  • Smaller annulus area

Incidence of PPM in balloon-expandable valves* is independent of valve size

* Single-center, retrospective, observational study , devices used : SAPIEN™3, SAPIEN™3 Ultra, or SAPIEN™3 Ultra RESILIA™, Edwards Lifesciences PPM was defined according to VARC-3 criteria
