- The durability data you’d expect.1
- Now with windows for coronary access when you need it.2
Built for durability
1. Outflow: The Evolut™ FX+ TAV is designed with the same structural strength at the outflow as the Evolut™ FX valve.1
2. Inflow: The Evolut™ FX+ TAV is designed with the same radial force at the inflow as the Evolut™ FX valve.1
Built on the original CoreValve™ platform, Evolut™ FX+ is engineered with specific design elements to promote sustained valve performance with consistently large effective orifice area (EOAs) and low gradients over time. Evolut™ FX+ also uses the same Evolut™ FX delivery system designed for precision, flexibility, and control.
Designed for access
3. Waist: The Evolut™ FX+ TAV is designed with three windows that are 4x larger to enable lifetime management solutions such as coronary access.2
Commissural alignment facilitates future coronary access.3
Tang, et al., found the commissural alignment technique allows for more accurate placement and orienting the hat marker at the outer core during deployment reduces incidence of severe coronary overlap.4
Procedural vision
Using the valve radiopaque markers sustained from the Evolut™ FX system features, and following Evolut™ procedural technique, commissure alignment can be achieved.5
The Evolut™ FX+ windows are predicted to be aligned to the coronary ostias when following commissure alignment techniques.2

† Valve performance as defined as freedom from BVD at 12 months. BVD is a composite including any of the following: hemodynamic structural valve dysfunction (mean gradient ≥ 20 mmHg), non-structural valve dysfunction (severe PPM or ≥ moderate aortic regurgitation), thrombosis, endocarditis, and aortic valve reintervention.
‡ In patients with small annuli (area ≤ 430 mm2) in all-comers trial, consisting of majority low surgical risk participants (52.1%).
