  • LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Heart-Valve-Surgery.com , a leading patient advocacy group for heart valve disease, with support from Medtronic , a global leader in healthcare technology, today launched the "Aortic Stenosis Patient Activation Platform", an end-to-end digital platform for patient awareness, patient education, and patient activation specific to aortic valve stenosis.
  • Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve which prevents the aortic leaflets from opening and closing properly.
  • Patients with aortic stenosis often have heart murmurs and experience debilitating symptoms including chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath and an irregular heartbeat.
  • Because treatment continues to increase and evolve, the "Aortic Stenosis Patient Activation Platform", developed by Heart-Valve-Surgery.com with support from Medtronic and a world-renowned team of physicians, will increase awareness and education for aortic stenosis patients.

DUBLIN and ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today unveiled five-year clinical data from the Surgical Replacement and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (SURTAVI) Trial, which was presented as a Late Breaking Clinical Trial at the 33rd Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation. Data from the trial showed that the hemodynamic (blood flow) benefits of the Medtronic CoreValve™ and Evolut™ platforms were maintained at five years with an excellent safety profile and stable valve performance in patients with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis who are at an intermediate risk for open-heart surgery.

Key Points: 
  • The TAVR arm continued to demonstrate durable valve longevity, as evidenced by better mean aortic valve gradients (8.6 mm Hg vs. 11.2 mm Hg; p
  • Additionally, valve thrombosis remained low out to five years for both TAVR and SAVR.
  • "TAVR has revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis with more TAVR cases now performed than surgical aortic valve replacement for this disease.
