Heart Valve Technology
This channel includes news and new device innovations about heart valve technologies, including the aortic valve, mitral valve, pulmonic valve, and tricuspid valve. This includes information on transcatheter valve technologies like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR, or implantation TAVI), transcatheter mitral valve repair or replacement (TMVR), transcatheter and surgical valve repairs, and surgical replacement valves. Newer devices are now being used for transcatheter tricuspid valve repair replacement (TTVR).

An example of a 80-year-old TAVR patient planning CT scan from Northwestern Medicine's Central DuPage Hospital. This was used in a heart team meeting with the TAVR staff, including a cardiac surgeon and interventional cardiologist, to determine if this patient was eligible for TAVR, the best access routes to deliver the valve, device valve size needed, and to look for any potential anatomical issues so they can be planned for.

Three of the most popular cardiovascular technologies to make the top news in June 2020. Top is the Impella Expandable Cardiac Pump (ECP) that is about to enter U.S. feasibility trials.Bottom left, the Foldax heart valve uses a flexible man-made material for valve leaflets rather than animal pericardium tissue. The hope is this new type of surgical and transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) device will enhance longevity of the valve leaflets. Bottom right, the SMT Hydra TAVR valve is the first Indian-made structural heart devices to gain European CE mark approval.
