Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) has announced its decision to acquire Innovalve Bio Medical , an early-stage transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) company. This move follows Edwards' initial investment in Innovalve in 2017 and is based on the company's promising early clinical experience. The acquisition aims to enhance Edwards' TMVR technologies, addressing unmet structural heart patient needs and supporting long-term growth.
Innovalve will join Edwards' transcatheter mitral and tricuspid therapies (TMTT) product group. The company's SAPIEN M3 is expected to become the first approved transfemoral TMVR system in Europe by the end of 2025. Edwards believes that combining Innovalve's technologies with its own mitral expertise will expand the treatable population for TMVR. The acquisition is set to close by the end of 2024.
Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) has released five-year data from the PARTNER Trials, showcasing excellent outcomes for patients, particularly women and those with a small annulus, undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using the SAPIEN 3 valve.
The analysis included over 1,300 low and intermediate risk patients and demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes and valve durability regardless of annulus size or sex. Key findings include no link between higher 30-day mean gradients or severe prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) with poor long-term outcomes.
Presented at New York Valves 2024, the data highlighted low reintervention rates and high five-year survival rates, reinforcing the reliability of the SAPIEN 3 valve platform for diverse patient groups.
