Evolut™ PRO System

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

  • Image showing the outer wrap of the Evolut PRO Transcatheter Aortic Valve

Overview

The EvolutTM PRO system is the next-generation, self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve with exceptional design and advanced sealing capability. The EvolutTM PRO system features a unique valve design with an outer wrap that adds surface area contact between the valve and the native aortic annulus to further advance valve sealing performance.

PRODUCT DETAILS

EXCEPTIONAL DESIGN

The EvolutTM PRO valve features an external porcine pericardial wrap added to the proven platform design. These legacy and new design features provide the following sealing mechanisms: 

  • The external wrap increases surface contact with native anatomy, providing advanced sealing.

  • The frame oversizing and cell geometry provide consistent radial force across the treatable annulus range.

THE HEMODYNAMIC ADVANTAGE OF THE EVOLUTTM TAVI PLATFORM

The EvolutTM TAVI platform demonstrates EOAs that are consistently large and may have a benefit for healthier, more active patients.

The supra-annular, self-expanding design of the EvolutTM PRO system provides a large effective orifice area (EOA).  Benefits of a large EOA may include:

  • Less workload for the ventricle1
  • Fewer instances of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM), which has been correlated to improved long-term survival2
  • A large EOA provides improved flow, less resistance, and better long-term durability3

Supra-annular valve design maximizes leaflet coaptation and promotes single-digit gradients and large EOAs.

CONTROL AND ACCESS

Features of the EnVeoTM PRO delivery system allow you to treat more patients and position the valve more accurately.

Broadest annulus range*
More patients have access to the minimally invasive TAVI procedure because of the expanded annulus range.

Lowest delivery profile
The EvolutTM PRO system retains its outer diameter as it enters the vessel and remains at this diameter as it is advanced to the annulus.

Recapture and reposition
The EnVeoTM PRO delivery system assists in accurate positioning of the valve. The delivery system features a 1:1 response, thus providing immediate feedback between the deployment knob and the movement of the capsule.

In addition, the EnVeoTM PRO delivery system provides you the option to recapture and reposition4 for more accurate placement.

The Confida Brecker Guidewire (CBG) is specifically designed for TAVI procedures. To minimize risk of ventricular perforation, the CBG features a continuous tapered core. The guidewire curve is pre-shaped to help with anchoring during valve deployment.
