Evolut™ R System

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

  • Evolut R 29mm

Overview

The Evolut™ R Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve, built on the proven foundation of the CoreValve™ platform, can be recaptured and repositioned. Its self-expanding nitinol frame enhances the ability to conform and seal to the native annulus. The supra-annular leaflet position keeps the working portion of the valve above and unconstrained by the native annulus.

PRODUCT DETAILS

PROVEN PLATFORM

The EvolutTM R valve is built on a proven platform, which continues to demonstrate exceptional outcomes.

  • The valve is made from strong and pliable porcine pericardial tissue, making it durable and allowing a low-profile delivery.
  • The self-expanding Nitinol frame conforms and adapts to the annulus and provides consistent, outward radial force.
  • The supra-annular valve design maximizes leaflet coaptation and promotes single-digit gradients and large effective orifice areas (EOAs).

Industry-Leading Hemodynamics

The supra-annular valve design and oversizing feature of the nitinol frame maximize the valve orifice and leaflet coaptation.1

The EvolutTM R valve design promotes single-digit gradients and large effective orifice areas (EOAs): The supra-annular valve optimizes coaptation in non-circular anatomy with supra-annular valve position and conforms to the native annulus.

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.

*Broadest annulus range based on CT derived diameters.

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

EnVeo PRO Delivery System

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 reposition2 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.

Up to 80% deployment. The valve can be partially or fully recaptured up to three times prior to the point of no recapture. Third attempt must be a complete recapture and retrieval from patient.
