September 17, 2022 — Medtronic today announced findings from its Pathological Study of Hypo-Attenuated Leaflet Thickening (HALT) in Self-Expanding Transcatheter Aortic Valves, as part of the CoreValve Evolut Program. The study is the first to compare microCT and histology findings of valve leaflet thickening, the results of which may provide clinical insights for long-term durability of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) and treatment of HALT.
September 15, 2022 — Today, aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common and serious valve disease problems [1]. It narrows the aortic valve opening and restricts the blood flow to the heart, making the heart work harder and potentially causing symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue. Left untreated, severe aortic valve stenosis can lead to death.
