Brands and Features of Materials Used in TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation)

Edwards Lifesciences SAPIEN 3

The market leader SAPIEN 3 is preferred by 62.8% of patients. Thanks to the ultra-thin Commander feeding system, it provides minimally invasive surgery and offers four different size options between 20-29 mm. With its cobalt-chromium alloy structure and nine-layer PET inner coating, it reduces the leakage rate to 0.72%. According to the results of the Partner 3 study, a complication rate of 0.5% in the first 30 days and a success rate of 98.9% in 5-year follow-ups were achieved. It has proven its reliability with 6-year durability data approved by the FDA.

Medtronic CoreValve Evolut R

The CoreValve Evolut R provides superior control to surgeons with its innovative EnVeo PRO-Track feeding system. The system, which offers four different size options between 23-34 mm, provides 25-40% wider blood flow than the natural valve thanks to its nitinol frame structure. The valve can be repositioned during surgery with a success rate of 99.9%. According to the Evolut Low Risk study, the cardiovascular mortality rate is 1.7% in the first 2 years. Thanks to its special processing technologies, it offers a 10-year structural durability guarantee and a low leakage rate (3.5%).

Boston Scientific LOTUS Edge

LOTUS Edge provides only a 0.3% leakage rate around the valve with its Depth Guard and Dual-Layer Adaptive Sealing Technologies. The valves, which are produced in four different sizes between 21-27 mm, adapt to the natural structure of the heart at a rate of 98.2% thanks to their special nitinol structure. It showed a 97.8% success rate in the Reprise III Clinical Study. Thanks to its dual-directional control mechanism, it offers 100% retrievability. With its special coating technology, it provides an ideal blood flow and a valve wear rate of 1.2% in 5-year follow-ups.
